{"product_id":"alocasia-regal-shield","title":"Alocasia Regal Shield","description":"\u003cp\u003eShowing off luxuriously dark velvety leaves, Alocasia Regal Shield is an excellent indoor plant. The majestic heart shaped leaves can reach up to 50 cm long making this statuesque beauty a show stopper wherever it is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA super exotic looking foliage plant, Alocasia loves a warm humid environment. Grows best in a sheltered draught free position in bright indirect light and regular watering is required whilst the plant is actively growing. Water once the soil becomes dry and do not do not let the plant become waterlogged as this will cause fungal issues and most likely death. For best results fertilise regularly with a slow release fertiliser and repot every few years using a good quality potting mix for indoor plants. In warmer climates, these gorgeous plants will brighten up a sheltered shady position outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlocasia are a little bit more tricky than many other indoor plants; they tend to have a dormant period during the cooler months, and this can be a little discerning for many new growers as it is often unclear how to look after them whilst dormant. Simply keep plants a little drier when they are dormant, but ensure the soil or potting mix does not dry completely as this will cause the rhizomes to dry and die off completely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53828414210232,"sku":"P68ALORSH","price":14.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/alocasia-p68alorsh-regal-shield-p18alorsh.jpg?v=1785380812","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/alocasia-regal-shield","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
