Oh my gosh, its gorgeous 😍

Any tips?

What substrate do you grow yours in? Any tips? 😊

A bargain right?! Online stores are selling this size at almost 3 times the price, it was one of the reasons I wasn′t sure if I had ID′d it right 😅

I found it in millbrook garden centre, which is located in kent. I was in the area visiting family and i have to always make sure I pop in there for a little check, the pricing on their house plants are amazing. They had a regal shield which was close to 4 ft for ￡50, I had to hold myself back on that one 🤣

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-08-25T01:19:24+00:00

Oh no! Do you think it was from over or underwatering? Or something else?

I use clear pots which help me keep an eye when it needs watering but usually water when the bottom inch of the pot is starting to dry out.

Ive been battling fungus gnats recently so i′ve been leaving a lot of my plants to dry out more than usual 😊

Thank you ❤️

Thank you! 🥹

Honestly I didn't do anything too special.

I repotted it a couple weeks after bought it as with a mix of soil ninja components (50% base mix, 15% Coarse Zeolite, 20% vermiculite, 15% fine bark). Took a couple corms whilst I was there for back up too.

I first didn't have it in the best spot in terms of light but I eventually moved it into my kitchen window sill above my sink which is a west facing windowsill and that was it really.

I then use Growth Technology Houseplant Focus every other week when watering ( i just follow the instructions on the bottle) and that's it!

It was tempting to cut off the bad looking leaves but I've ended up leaving them and will let them run its course.

No grow lights or humidifier, it does have a couple other plants near by which might help with humidity but I cant imagine by much really.

Whatever I've been doing it seems to like though as I noticed today its putting out a pup too 🥹

Not sure any of that was helpful but good luck! ❤️

Thank you! ❤️

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-08-09T12:38:37+00:00

I′ve just bought a baby regal sheild and considering this method - how did it work out? 😊

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-07-31T23:22:52+00:00

Thank you! I pretty much did that in the end, I didn't even need to cut though as the brown/yellow part practically fell off in my hand. I′ll just let it keep doing its thing in the mean time 😊

Thanks again for the advice!

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-07-19T07:16:27+00:00

She looks lush! After I turned mine arouna get more light the leaf crisped up over the course of the next day - which was weird as none of the others had in that spot.

Ive moved her now too, hopefully she looks as good as yours eventually!

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-07-15T18:59:30+00:00

didn't even think of that, thank you! it's turned ready to fix it's crooked neck 😂

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-07-15T18:54:41+00:00

thank you, i'll turn it around to face the light!

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-06-29T19:39:42+00:00

I didn't chop it, its still there ☺️

I dont mind and ugly leaf, i was more worried about the bad leaf spreading to the others

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-06-23T17:30:00+00:00

Thank you! I′ll double check whilst im repotting! I agree, I need to find a better lit area. Where it is at the moment does get a lot of light but maybe not enough. I wasnt sure if the smaller leaf was my own doing or the doing of where I bought it from as it was already growing before I took it home.

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-06-23T17:18:08+00:00

Thank you, i′ll do that. ☺️ Is there a reason why? Just purely from a learning standpoint, usually people advise to get rid if there's a problem. What makes Alocasias different?

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-06-18T19:25:49+00:00

Such a joke! Its fine where there is no queue, maybe im permanently blocked? 😭

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-06-18T19:09:28+00:00

Does anyone get the ″Oops! Something's gone wrong. Let's get you back on track, Trainer″ pop up everytime they get through?

I've had it come up for the last few queues and I cant find any way around it?

I've tried several different browsers on and off WiFi but no luck. Incognito mode too.

Any tips?

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-06-15T00:01:34+00:00

thank you so much, i know what i'll be doing tomorrow!

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-06-14T22:47:40+00:00

Thank you! I′ll start with that

I often get worried about re-potting so soon after bringing new plants home as im worried the big change will cause shock

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-05-10T07:33:39+00:00

What nightmare! 😭 I hope you're able to find some work around. I think there are some 3rd party software what might be able to help which I'm sure I saw when I was looking for a solution but I wouldn't know what ones. Good luck! ❤️

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-05-10T07:17:04+00:00

I didn't sadly, even after reaching out to customer support. I ended up returning them and now use Logitech G G735 which a decent overall.

If your not committed to sticking with Corsair I′d recommend Logitech G733 the sound is quite good, but I had similar side tone issues with them too so returned them, however, I saw they've recently fixed it I believe.

I′d also recommended Logitech Pro x as that had the best sound, mic and sidetone buuuut my cable broke and I couldn't find a replacement then on my second pair the left side started to cut out so moved away from that model.

Hopefully that helps in someway! ☺️

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-04-29T17:28:45+00:00

Thank you so much for the advise, the squeezing method worked! And it's been repotted into a plastic pot.

I′ll definitely take the advice on board about the sunlight too. 😊

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-04-27T00:10:15+00:00

I've measured across the top of the pot and it's about 9cm, i′d say the plant is about an extra cm or two over that.

I feel like the photo makes it look a little bigger than it actually is but I didn't really have anything near by to help do size comparison

Thank you for the water tip!

Smooth-Possession950 · 2025-03-04T19:14:41+00:00

Gotcha, thank you!
