Giant black velvety perfectly heart-shaped leaves with slightly ruffled edges and reddish undersides – now who wouldn’t want to own this plant? 
If you grow Alocasia regal shield under the right care conditions, this aroid rapidly grows to a height of 4 – 5 feet (1.2 – 1.5 meters) and spreads out laterally with the leaves supported by long and erect petioles. They are self headers that get as wide as they are tall.
