Expert Grower’s Tips

Advice from our growing experts

Light Balance

Light Balance

While Regal Shields can tolerate some direct sun, filtered light is ideal to prevent scorching and maintain the deep purple leaf undersides.

Water Watch

Water Watch

Always check the top 1–2 inches of soil before watering. Overwatering is the biggest risk for Alocasias, so drainage is key.

Fertilizer Timing

Fertilizer Timing

Feed only in the active growing months (spring–summer) for best results. Too much fertilizer in winter can stress the plant.
