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 MINT VARIEGATED
Alocasia Regal Shields Albo Mint Variegated: Statement Variegated Hybrid
This is a rare variegated expression of the well-loved Regal Shields hybrid, already known for its enormous shield-shaped leaves and architectural presence, here lifted with chimeric albo and mint sectoring that turns each leaf into a statement piece.
Two-Tone Chimeric Variegation
This cultivar carries both true albo (white/cream) and mint (pale green) sectoring across the deep, glossy green base of Regal Shields. The variegation is chimeric, meaning expression is generated at the meristem and shifts from leaf to leaf. No two specimens are identical and reversion is always a possibility. For collectors who enjoy hunting for unusual leaves, this is exactly the appeal.
Care and Growth Habit
Regal Shields is a large-growing hybrid that responds well to bright, indirect light and humidity above 60%. Variegated sectors are more vulnerable to scorch, so keep light filtered. A gentle balanced feed programme during active growth supports the larger leaf size this hybrid is known for. Given enough warmth and room, mature specimens produce substantial shield-shaped foliage that anchors any collection.
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.
