4" Purple Shield

Purple Shield (Alocasia wentii)
Purple Shield is a bold, dramatic foliage plant loved for its large, glossy green leaves with deep purple undersides. The contrast between the rich tops and velvety backs gives this plant a striking, almost metallic presence. Upright and architectural, Purple Shield makes a strong statement as a floor plant or large tabletop feature.

Fun Fact:
The deep purple undersides of Purple Shield help protect the plant from intense light in nature—and they make the leaves just as stunning from every angle. 🌿✨
