⚠️ Note on Natural Variation, Algae & Growing Conditions
Leaf size, curvature, and coloration may vary slightly from plant to plant, but each will have the same overall shape and vigor as shown.
Shipped in a Fluval and perlite mix that promotes root health and reduces transplant stress. Harmless green algae may be present in the substrate - this is normal in high-humidity environments and does not harm the plant.
🌡️ Grown in 70-75°F temperatures and 70-75% humidity, these plants should be gradually acclimated to normal household conditions over 5-7 days.
🛠️ Care Instructions
Light:
Bright, indirect light or light shade. Tolerates some filtered sun but avoid harsh midday rays, especially indoors.
Water:
Keep in a self-watering pot or place above a shallow reservoir of nutrient-enriched water if remaining in Fluval/perlite mix. This maintains consistent moisture without waterlogging the roots.
Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity (50-75%). Slowly reduce humidity during acclimation to avoid shock.
Temperature:
Ideal range is 65-85°F. Protect from cold drafts, especially below 60°F.
Soil (if repotting):
When transitioning to soil, use a well-draining aroid mix - a blend of coco coir, orchid bark, and perlite works well.
Fertilizer:
Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer at ¼-½ strength.
Dormancy Note:
Regal Shield may slow growth in cooler seasons. Reduce watering and hold fertilizer during dormancy until new growth emerges.
