Great video and amazing plant! I'm an alocasia lover as well. I have my own in clear pots, do you think the roots need darkness to develop? I don't use anything else for ventilation of the roots... thanks.
Thank you for your kind words! It's great to connect with a fellow Alocasia lover. Using clear pots is actually a good idea because it allows you to monitor the roots' health easily. Alocasia roots don't necessarily need complete darkness to develop, but they do appreciate a balance of moisture and air. If you're using clear pots, just make sure they're not exposed to direct sunlight for long periods, as this can cause algae growth or potentially overheat the roots. For ventilation, as long as your potting mix is well-draining and you're careful not to overwater, the roots should get enough air. If you ever notice the roots looking a bit crowded or stressed, it might be a good idea to repot with a chunkier mix to improve aeration. Hope that helps!🙏🍃
I have one myself. It grows like hell. Love it! It's my favorite plant. I have a question, how many offshoots does it get in its lifetime? I bought the plant in April 2023 when it had six leaves. Now it's almost 2 meters tall and wide and has produced one offshoot that's now about the same size as the mother plant was when I bought it. Will this be the only offshoot of the mother plant, or will there be more? As of right now, they're both still in the same pot, but since I'll have to repot the mother plant soon, I'm thinking about separating them and giving the offshoot away. If this will be the only offshoot, then I'll keep it, in case the mother plant will die. Also, how many years will the nother plant live? I can't find any information on that online other than it is perennial?
Thanks for sharing your experience with your Alocasia Regal Shield-it sounds like it’s doing amazingly well! Alocasias can produce multiple offshoots over time, so your plant may give you more in the future. If you’re thinking about separating the offshoot, it’s a great idea, especially if you want to share it with someone. But if you’re worried about the mother plant, keeping the offshoot as a backup isn’t a bad plan. Also when separating keep an eye on the corms, they are potential new plants. I have a video explaining all steps: ua-cam.com/video/uTGIavb5AUE/v-deo.htmlsi=1-DTh6addjGXJogw They are perennials and can live for many years with proper care. Thank you again 💚🍃

Good to know. I have nine leaves on my Regal, medium size, that does grow indoors in a not that bright of light. It just keeps growing well though.
Wow, that's amazing! They are lovely 💚
