REGAL SHIELDS ALBO VARIEGATED
A dormant corm rather than a growing plant. It arrives in Fluval Stratum, ready to sprout given warmth and humidity. Rooting and first leaves take time, and patience is part of it.

What collectors say
Care
Light. Bright, indirect light. Variegated tissue carries less chlorophyll and scorches more easily than green, so filter strong sun.
Water and humidity. Keep the substrate evenly moist, never wet. Aim for 60% humidity or higher.
Feeding. A balanced feed programme through spring and summer; ease off in winter.
Dormancy. An Alocasia that drops its leaves in the cold is usually resting, not dead. Keep it warm and barely moist and it will push again.
Delivery and arrival
Plants are dispatched Monday to Thursday only, so they never sit in a depot over a weekend. Every order is sent with a heat pack and packed plastic-free.
Free UK delivery on orders over £75. Unpack on arrival and give your plant a few days of steady conditions to acclimatise.
Every plant is covered by our 7-day live arrival guarantee. If there's a problem, email sales@thealocasiacompany.co.uk within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos. Please don't repot in those first 7 days, as repotting voids the guarantee.
Pet safety
Like all aroids, this plant contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if eaten. Keep it out of reach of cats, dogs and children.
About this cultivar
REGAL SHIELDS ALBO VARIEGATED
Alocasia Regal Shield Albo: Rare White Variegated Architectural Houseplant
An architectural plant with pronounced white variegation. The Alocasia Regal Shield Albo carries huge, slightly ruffled heart-shaped leaves that resemble shields, showing clean, strong white variegation set against dark green foliage.
Why Plant Collectors Treasure Regal Shield Albo
This hybrid cultivar holds the attention of serious enthusiasts through its origins as a cross between A. odora and A. reginula (Black Velvet), producing a specimen that combines architectural grandeur with white variegation patterns. The deep red to maroon leaf undersides carry contrasting lime veining that adds a further dimension, while the clean white sections against dark green create an aesthetic prized by collectors worldwide.
An Architectural Statement for Serious Collections
Suited to dedicated collectors seeking dramatic scale and pronounced variegation, this South-East Asian hybrid brings considerable visual contrast to indoor collections. The shield-like leaves with bold white variegation, and their remarkable size, give this rare collector's houseplant a commanding architectural presence and strong contrasting colouration.
All plants are grown in Fluval Stratum, our preferred early-stage medium for corms and baby Alocasia, held in our 3D printed Corm Keeper stand. Once fully rooted and at juvenile size we repot into our own pon mix, blended from components in our Soil Ninja range.
