How to prune alocasia reginae

Rarely — this slow grower sheds very few leaves. Alocasia reginae is a rare, compact collector species that needs no pruning beyond dead-leaf removal. Its deeply veined leaves are the ornamental feature — never cut healthy foliage. When a leaf fully yellows or browns, remove it by cutting the petiole cleanly at the base. Growth is slow; treat every healthy leaf as precious.
