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 AUREA VARIEGATED
Alocasia Regal Shields Aurea: Rare Golden Variegated Jungle Houseplant
A statement plant for a lush indoor jungle. The Alocasia Regal Shield Aurea is a rare golden variegated form with large heart-shaped, slightly ruffle-edged leaves, distinct veining and yellow variegation, held upright by thick fleshy stems that arch gently outwards.
Why Experienced Growers Choose Regal Shield Aurea
This variegated cultivar takes the familiar Regal Shield further with rare golden variegation across each leaf. The signature ruffle-edged leaves, distinct veining patterns and luminous yellow variegation give it a regal quality that needs space to read properly, and it works well grown with a range of other tropical plants around and under its umbrella-like leaves.
A Jungle Statement for Advanced Indoor Collections
Suited to experienced growers ready to extend their collection, this rare Aurea cultivar does best given room to show its architectural presence, while benefiting from the humid micro-climate created by surrounding tropical plants. The golden variegation and substantial size make this rare collector's houseplant the high point of a lush indoor jungle display.
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.
