I saw the Alocasia Regal Shield in my local plant shop for $75. It was less than 3 feet tall, so when I saw the Regal Shield for sale on Brian's Botanicals for $14.99 plus $5.50 for shipping, I had to buy it. I know these elephant ears grow fast, so it should only be a matter of months before it is the size of the one for $75.
The Regal Shield was also in fantastic shape for being in the mail for a whole week. Still I soaked the roots for six hours along with the rest of the plants in a vase, just to get them hydrated. The longest stem on this plant was 10 inches long, with four leaves in fantastic shape. All in all, I'm satisfied with the plants from Brian's Botanicals, because the roots are always looking strong. I still have one more order from them that I'm looking forward to.
