Polly Alocasia

The Alocasia Polly, upon first glance, will certainly leave you wondering how nature makes such weird and wonderful creatures! Its thick, textured leaves have a deep green to almost black hue, which makes a bold contrast to the pale green of its vein pattern. Its large elongated leaves, with their signature scalloped edges, make this plant really stand out, and gives it that tropical feel it is known for. 

Light: These plants thrive in bright indirect light, but avoid direct sun, as the intense rays can burn their tender leaves. Be sure to rotate your plant regularly to ensure it grows evenly, as these are infamous for distorting their shape by reaching towards the light. 

Water: These plants enjoy evenly moist soil, but do not like to be soggy. Water once the soil is dry about one to two inches down in its container.

Humidity: Moderate humidity is best for this variety. We recommend adding a humidifier to your plant care routine or placing it on a pebble tray to help provide humidity if your space is dry.
