The Regal Shield is a striking tropical hybrid elephant ear prized for its large, velvety dark green leaves with deep purple undersides and prominent raised veins.
Regal Shield Care:
Light: Bright, indirect light. Make sure this plant does not get DIRECT light, as the leaves will scorch and wilt.
Water: Consistent watering is key. The Lilly Pad suggests a self-watering pot.
Soil: Right now, this plant is potted in a sphagnum moss/perlite mix. However, The Lilly Pad suggests putting alocasias in a self-watering pot with perlite/fluval stratum. One could pot an alocasia in regular chunky soil, too!
