BWH Plant Co Alocasia Regal Shield

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with sheer curtains or in a spot that receives plenty of natural light without the sun's harsh, direct rays hitting the leaves, which can cause scorching.

No, the Alocasia 'Regal Shield' is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.

You can boost humidity by grouping it with other plants, using a pebble tray filled with water, or placing it near a humidifier. Misting is generally less effective and can sometimes encourage fungal issues on the leaves.

Check the top inch or two of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water. The goal is to keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy, so ensure your pot has proper drainage to avoid root rot.

The 'Regal Shield' is considered a moderate-care plant. While it is not overly demanding, it does require consistent attention to its light and humidity needs, making it a great step up for someone who has successfully kept easier plants like Pothos or Snake Plants alive.
