Baby  Alocasia Regal Shield

The Alocasia Regal Shield is definitely worth watching grow! Her leaves are shaped like a shield, to which she obviously gets her name from. The first leaves of the baby plant are noticeable a lighter colour than the leaves of a mature plant. But during her growth, the colour of her leaves become darker and darker. Another thing that you will probably notice is the reddish colour on the bottom of her leaves, you can already notice this once a new leaf unfolds. How exciting?!
