About this product
Elephant Ear (Alocasia) – Alocasia ‘Regal Shields’
A popular houseplant for good reason—handsome leaves and a growth habit that’s easy to style. The foliage is the main feature, and it pairs well with other tropical houseplants for a layered look.
They often prefer brighter, indirect light and higher humidity for best leaf quality. Keep the compost lightly moist during active growth, but avoid waterlogging—good drainage is key.
A versatile houseplant that works well on its own or mixed into a larger plant display.
Best suited to plant lovers who enjoy a more hands-on care routine. A relatively slow grower that stays tidy over time. Not considered pet-safe, so best kept out of reach of pets.
