Alocasia 'Regal Shields'

Alocasia 'Regal Shields' is a large hybrid Alocasia with broad dark green shield-shaped leaves, pale green veins and deep purple undersides. The foliage is held on sturdy petioles, giving the plant a tall, broad-leaved shape as it matures.

Its parentage is Alocasia odora × Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet', combining broad elephant-ear scale with darker, vein-marked foliage.

Shield leaves with purple undersides

  • Leaves: Large shield-shaped blades in dark green with clear vein relief.
  • Undersides: Purple to burgundy tones show when leaves tilt or are viewed from below.
  • Growth: Large hybrid Alocasia that can become a substantial floor plant indoors.
  • Parentage: Alocasia odora × Alocasia reginula 'Black Velvet'.

Managing larger leaves indoors

Alocasia 'Regal Shields' needs room for leaves, a pot that balances its weight and a root zone that stays warm. While growth is active, the plant can use more water than smaller Alocasia, but the mix still needs to release excess moisture quickly.

  • Light: Bright softened daylight helps leaves size up, petioles stay firm and colour remain dark.
  • Watering: Water fully once the upper few centimetres dry. Adjust intervals as leaf size and season change.
  • Substrate: Use a coarse aroid mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite and a fertile moisture-retentive component.
  • Pot choice: Choose a stable pot with enough weight for the broad leaf mass.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 20–30 °C when new leaves are forming.
  • Humidity: Higher household humidity helps the large leaves expand with cleaner edges.
  • Feeding: Feed regularly at moderate strength while new leaves are developing.
  • Repotting: Repot during warm active growth when roots fill the pot and the plant dries quickly after watering.

Watering around broad leaf growth

  • Leaning plant: Rotate toward the light and check pot stability.
  • Yellow lower leaves: Review root health, light level and seasonal slowdown before changing the watering amount.
  • Brown margins: Check dry air, watering gaps and fertiliser salts.
  • Pest pressure: Inspect broad undersides for spider mites and thrips, especially in warm dry rooms.

Space and access for a bigger aroid

Alocasia 'Regal Shields' is toxic if chewed. Keep it out of reach of pets and children, and wear gloves if sap irritates your skin.

Regal Shields hybrid line

The genus name Alocasia was coined in relation to Colocasia. Mature plants develop large shield-like leaves with purple to burgundy undersides.

Good book for parents
Format: Hardcover
A good review for parents to keep as they struggle, but as reviewer noted a bit oversimplified. I bought after had listened to a panel on Forum discussed screen time. As a grandparent, sitting with my wife each on our I pads, I recall eating at restaurants when you look an see so many n smart gadgets texting, tweeting selfing and wonder where the talk is. I did post a photo of a wee grandchild playing while tv playing and three other in room were on their gadgets. The discussion was good. No answers. But, the discusses all recommend Lahey's book. In a period when helicopter parents strive for kids and overpower them, success comes without self motivation, and absent of failing , or at least the skills needed to overcome failure, grit and resilience and desire. Good to,learn early that they are part of a community and tasks are performed not for bribes or pay, but part of all pulling together. She spends a few pages on bullying and how to deal with it. Certainly for sandbox or recess in early years letting kids figure out how to work together through squabbles and fights is good. How do we handle the issues when kids get older? Teddy Roosevelt said learn to box. Sometimes really big kids pummel the weak. Stepping in may be needed. Bullying which now is felt a larger part of school with snubbing, nasty notes, cliques causes no bodily harm, but is part of life. Dealing with it Is a difficult task for teachers and parents. I applaud the new generation of teachers and parents who work as teams. A quarter century ago the moms at our kids elementary school were called the mafia moms. No prisoners. I recall an episode when well dressed ladies said whatever the vogue n radon gas wrong, ..they knew cause they could read and they didn't have to learn what their kids were saddled with and the new math, now very old, was wrong. Maybe now teachers and parents can complain together about the evil core, or how much time the teachers should spend prepping for a test.

Good tips, though possibly over-obvious to some...
Format: Kindle
if you're prone to be a helicopter parent. If you're not, then I would say read it anyway so you can see where other parents might be approaching parenting. It pretty much fits in with other parenting books I've read such as "How Children Succeed" by Paul Tough, and "Grit" by Angela Duckworth. As with any parenting book, how useful you find it depends on what you're already doing. One of the examples that the author uses in the book is that of a kid forgetting his/her lunch at home. If you "rescue" the kid by driving his lunch to school, then there's no motivation for him to remember it in the future. Got it! When I was a kid and I forgot my lunch at home, I was not then able to concentrate at school for fear of my mother's reaction when I got home. She needed to "teach me a lesson" by shaming me for forgetting it, cussing me out, turning it into a moral issue, and giving me the silent treatment for several days. When that's the consequence for forgetting a lunch, then going hungry for a day seems trivial. In fact, it would be less stressful to simply declare that I'm no longer bringing lunch to school anymore so that I can't possibly forget it again, and protect myself from a bipolar parent's mood swings. But some parents can't even let their kids go hungry for the day, even though suffering the consequence's of one's behavior doesn't even feel like punishment. If you had a parent like mine, you would hardly need to read this book, and yet I would recommend it so you can understand what other people's parents are doing. My kid is 2 now. I pretty much let him learn from experience, although I outright ban dangerous and unhygienic behaviors. This book pretty much reinforces my approach anyway.

We love El Tummy Time!
Format: Board book
The bright colors and pictures are so fun, and the thick board book material makes it durable. Our big kids love to name the animals while baby does tummy time so it’s great to get multiple kids involved.
