Alocasia Regal Shield

Prefers bright, indirect light to filtered sun. Outdoors, thrives in part shade or morning sun with afternoon shade. Indoors, place near a bright window, but out of direct sunlight to avoid scorching.

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Reduce watering in cooler months when the plant’s growth slows.

Soil: Grows best in a rich, well-draining potting mix. Combine potting soil, perlite, coco coir, and orchid bark for ideal moisture balance and aeration. Always use containers with good drainage. Fertilizer: Feed every 2–4 weeks during the active growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Pause feeding in fall and winter when the plant goes semi-dormant. Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent salt buildup and leaf tip burn. Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60% or higher). Use a humidifier, group with other plants, or set the pot on a pebble tray with water to maintain humidity levels. Crisp or browning edges are a sign of dry air.
