Alocasia Regal Shield 10”

The Philodendron ‘Regal Shield’ is a bold and impressive tropical plant known for its large, glossy, dark green leaves with prominent veining. Its upright, clumping growth habit makes it a standout statement piece in any indoor plant collection. Native to tropical rainforests, this philodendron thrives in humid, warm conditions, and its striking foliage adds depth and texture to your space.

For optimal growth, Regal Shield prefers bright, indirect light, ideally near an east- or north-facing window. It can tolerate moderate light conditions, but low light may slow growth and reduce leaf size. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves and dull their rich green color. Consistent, filtered light ensures strong growth and maintains the plant’s signature glossy appearance.

Caring for this philodendron is simple with a few key points. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, allowing the top 1–2 inches to dry slightly between waterings. Use a well-draining potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark to prevent root rot. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage healthy growth. With proper lighting, humidity, and routine care, Philodendron ‘Regal Shield’ will thrive as a dramatic and elegant addition to your indoor plant collection.
