I just happened to run across you looking up the Regal Shield. Subscribed❤

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Heyyy welcome to the family !!

[@DeedraMcdougle]

Hello, My name is Deedra. I just got finished watching your tips. I'm not no plant lover. But I like how big they can get. There beautiful. So for VALENTINES DAY my friend got me a alocasia regal shield. So I'm a beginner. I would keep following you on the plants.

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Hello I hope my answer helped

[@jennibock1]

Well done. That’s a happy plant 🌱

[@baobaosaur112]

I just picked up my baby this past weekend! I found a huge and v healthy one at Lowe’s for $35 (I may or may have not yoinked him from their stocking cart before he fell victim to over watering ^^’’). I named him Charles and he’s been thriving since bringing him home 😍 he lives in a corner of my living room where he get lots of sunlight~ and he’s already pushing out new leaves at such a fast rate! I haven’t had any yellowing leaves (I read online that they tend to have this due to nutrients being sucked out to support the new growth), but I reckon it might be due to me living in Hawaii where the humidity is usually p high 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Heyyy Charlie !!!! Wow you live in Hawaii how do you like it ?

[@mbaines71]

Just growing one of this dudes from corm. He's just growing his third leaf after about 2 months. Looks awesome!

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Ayee love to hear it !! This one has given me over 50 corms and new plants all over my garden

[@frogsbongs]

Thank you for the tips 💚 a local seller gave me a corm for free when I bought a melanochrysum. I've had alocasia Polly before and thought it was so difficult and avoided them. But my regal shield just unfurled it's first leaf and I'm obsessed with him 💚 I can't believe he rooted and sprouted in my apartment in a month and I'm determined to have more luck than what I had with the Polly's lol

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Oh wow! Love to hear this !! They can grow huge indoors or outdoors I love them !!!

[@merrinandplants]

I also use cactus palm citrus from Home Depot! I amend it as needed like adding pumice and sand for succulents, or bark and Leca for plants that like chunky soils! I also use Planta! Great video💚🌱 I’m gonna try to grow it in lower humidity because I hate humidifiers 😬

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Yes I recently moved her back outside. Yes I turned off my humidifier about 1 months ago

[@Nunya-lx1ri]

Thank you for your video and enthusiasm about plants! I have a little Regal shield and your tips are really helping me, thank you Jason!

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

You are so welcome!

[@Swordfeather]

I love your channel i'm so happy to have found you. You're so energetic and happy in your videos and I just adore how much love you shower on your plant babies

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Heyyy I’m glad you found our channel !! Ok where are you from and what’s your favorite plant ?

[@margarethunter4837]

So glad I found your channel really enjoyed it and extremely helpful

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

I'm so glad! Welcome to the family

[@jackiewade2428]

Hello Jason, I liked your first video a lot. And the tape I believe is called plant Velcro. And you have some wonderful plants in that corner

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Hey thankyou so much I just got some more plants for my baby jungle new video coming ! I appreciate you subscribing!!!

[@4Joey]

Thanks so much for this video! My regal shield bloomed this week and it completely caught me by surprise! When I eventually upsize its pot, I'm definitely going to grab some cactus/palm soil like yours. A watering app sounds like a good idea, too. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of all these plants, man. 😅

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Yess I’m so glad this helped . Yes after 5-10 plants who had time to keep track of all of them !! Much success to your plant and welcome to the family

[@PlantsAndBlue]

Crazy you use cacti dirt! And that it works so great! Thanks for the tip! Your Regal is a beauty! I am going to check out your grow light setup too....like your channel thanks

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Hey yes cacti works amazing ! I put her back outside and she is thriving !!! Yes glad I can help and more videos coming !! Welcome to the family

[@Gkrissy]

Congrats on the new channel. I noticed my regal shield started blooming 2 weeks ago but they died off because I was out of town. I love alocasias too. My regal shield is smaller and as it gets bigger, I plan to transition it to an aroid mix because it helps prevent root rot.

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Yess i definitely cut all my blooms ! Do you have it indoors or outdoors ?

[@Gkrissy]

@@MYFIDDLELEAF I have it indoors. I just reported it yesterday with an aroid mix because I saw some of the roots coming out of the pot.

[@fosterfoster9913]

Nice video. I’m here for the plant journey.

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Hey I have a new video posted every Wednesday…. Guess what I did to the buds 🤣

Great question. Download this app called (Planta) it will create a watering schedule for you . Make it simple and easy!

[@drawyrral]

I got one last August. It's just a baby but it's growing fast. It has put out 3 new leaves and is now about 16 inches tall. I have it in an indoor green house.

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Yessss!! They grow so fast when the conditions are right ! Can’t wait to hear about the big leaves when they come in !

[@angelicamoore4087]

Thanks for the info!

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Hey of course anytime ! Glad I can help

Yess they are amazing !!

[@hennesseyme9112]

@@MYFIDDLELEAF Do they pup a lot? How many corms do they make. I have a Sumo Alocasia, though it doesn't give corms, it does pup and they grow to about 5 feet.

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

@@hennesseyme9112 I have literally gotten over 50 plus corms from this one ! It has single handedly transformed my backyard into a mini jungle !!!

[@whale6144]

Could you please tell us what kind of plant tape that is and where you got it ?

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Hey yes I got it from Home Depot but you can also get it from Amazon . It’s Velcro with a soft side

Hi Jason , I'm in Australia n my regal is in my green house. It's not going as good as yours it has small leaves but i'am just learning.

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Hey ok my first question is do you have it on a watering schedule?

[@tahminanegmat5786]

What kind of grow lights do you use?

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

I use the SanSai grow lights . They are not over priced but great quality!!

[@mistysplants.]

Did you buy it when it was tiny?❤

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

It was little

[@Influenced.by.friends]

Great video man! What was the name of that app???

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Any time!

[@kbm4409]

My alocasia regal shield puts out leaves very quickly but for some reason it has dropped two healthy vibrant green leaves. The steams went soft and then shriveled and flopped completely over. I just had a new leaf unfurl and now it's like my baby will only hold on to four leaves now.... HELP.....I repotted her because her roots had overgrown the pot but she's still only keeping four leaves and I'm loosing healthy leaves. She is a big girl but idk what else to try. No pest...no root rot....she has her own grow light so I'm lost

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

How long have you had her ?

[@kbm4409]

@@MYFIDDLELEAF a little over a year

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

@@kbm4409 hmm do you fertilize her ? Mine recently dropped all her leaves and now just sprouted a new one

[@kbm4409]

@@MYFIDDLELEAF yes I fertilize her ....I repotted her in March and her roots had such vigorous massive growth I had to repot her again in May....she has a very healthy root system....no mushy roots...no dark roots...no smells...no leaf discoloration on any of the leaves not even brown tips....when the other leaves flopped over their leaves were still a beautiful deep green and no discolorations anywhere....this is stumping me...not even any pest issues thank goodness

[@aldaamaral8121]

Mine each time a new leaf borns an old One dies, so I never have more than five leaves. The Roots are good leafs are big but ONLY 4 or 5 . What an I doing wrong? Can u help me?

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Honestly that is actually great keeping 4-5 leaves how old is yours ?

[@susaneastman4867]

My Regal Had 5 leaves and 6 blooms. I kept loing leaves. I cut the blooms after that. Now I have 1 new leaf, ugh.

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Yes I just cut my blooms for the second time . They take energy away from the plant growing more leaves !!

[@mistysplants.]

The blooms take up too much energy

[@MYFIDDLELEAF]

Exactly .. they must go
