About Alocasia reginae
Alocasia reginae is a dwarf jewel Alocasia species endemic to Borneo, typically found growing on limestone-rich forest floors. Its leaves are thick, leathery, and stiff and cordate in shape. The upper surface has a dull, matte dark blue-grey color with deeply set primary veins, while the underside is a solid deep maroon-burgundy, giving a strong contrast between the two sides.

Before You Buy
Species-specific things to check when evaluating a listing
- Check both leaf surfaces: the upper side should be matte dark blue-grey with deeply set veins, and the underside a solid deep maroon-burgundy; mismatched colouring suggests a different species
- No recorded market price exists for this species yet; treat any quoted price as the seller's own estimate rather than a benchmarked figure
- Confirm the leaf is thick, leathery and stiff rather than thin or floppy, consistent with the described texture
- As a slow-growing dwarf species (20-35cm mature size), be realistic about how long a small offset will take to fill out
Limestone-Adapted, Slow to Grow
Reginae comes from limestone-rich forest floor in Borneo, an environment that tends to produce Alocasia species with thick, leathery, slow-growing leaves rather than the fast, thin foliage of species from richer soils, and that pattern holds here. The leaf's two faces do different jobs identifying it: a dull, matte dark blue-grey upper surface with deeply grooved veins, against a solid deep maroon-burgundy underside. There's no recorded sale price for this species on the site yet, which reflects how rarely it actually changes hands rather than any uncertainty about the plant's identity.
