4" Alocasia clypeolata 'Green Shield'

Alocasia ‘Green Shield’ (Alocasia clypeolata) is a lovely tropical houseplant known for its glossy, waxy green leaves and striking dark green veins. As it matures, it forms a lush clump of arching, shield-shaped foliage.

Your Alocasia arrives well-established in a 4" pot. Each plant is grown with care in our licensed Florida nursery to ensure it arrives healthy, well-rooted, and ready to thrive in your space. Provide bright, indirect light, steady warmth, and moderate humidity, and it will reward you with strong, vibrant growth—an eye-catching statement in any tropical collection.

4 inch

☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light
💨 Humidity: Aroids thrive in higher humidity (60%+). Average household humidity can work for acclimated plants, but they’ll appreciate extra moisture from a humidifier or grouping with other plants.
💧 Watering: Most aroids do not want to stay constantly moist (Alocasias, in particular, are prone to root rot). Allow the soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain. Reduce frequency in cooler months.
🌡️ Temperature: Prefers warm conditions (65–85°F). Protect from drafts and cold air.
🪴 Soil & Potting: Use a well-draining, airy aroid mix. Always pot with drainage.
⚠️ Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested by pets or children.
