Introducing the Regal Shield Alocasia, a stunning tropical plant with large, shield-shaped leaves that boast a beautiful, velvety black coloration with slightly ruffled edges and reddish undersides. It's a popular choice for indoor gardeners due to its unique appearance and relatively easy care requirements.
Here's a quick 3-step care guide for your 10" Alocasia Regal Shield:
1. Light: Provide your Alocasia with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.  Think dappled sunlight filtering through a sheer curtain.
2. Water: Water your Alocasia when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.  Sticking your finger in the soil is a good way to check - if it feels moist, hold off on watering. 
3. Humidity: Alocasias prefer moderate to high humidity. You can increase the humidity around your plant by grouping it with other plants, using a pebble tray, or using a humidifier. A pebble tray is a simple way to boost humidity -  place your plant on a tray filled with pebbles and water, making sure the pot sits above the water level.
