Description
Alocasia odora x reginula 'Regal Shield', commonly known as Little Asian Queen or Night-Scented Lily, is a unique and attractive hybrid with large, dramatic leaves that bring a tropical flair to shaded areas or indoor spaces. This Alocasia has a striking leaf shape and colour, making it a standout choice for adding bold foliage to Perth gardens or interiors. It thrives in part shade or bright, indirect sunlight, making it suitable for indoor environments or protected outdoor spaces.
As a perennial, 'Regal Shield' provides lush greenery through most of the year but enters dormancy during Winter (Makuru), when its foliage dies back before regrowth in warmer seasons. This Alocasia prefers well-draining soil and requires moderate watering, ensuring the soil stays slightly moist but not waterlogged. Due to its eye-catching foliage, 'Regal Shield' is an ideal plant for adding texture and height to garden beds or as a potted feature.
