Alocasia 'Polly' is one of the most iconic houseplants, loved for its dramatic arrow-shaped leaves, deep green colouring and striking silvery-white veins. Compact in size but big on impact, it brings a bold, tropical feel to shelves, desks and plant collections without taking up too much space.
While it has a reputation for being a little particular, Alocasia 'Polly' thrives once it finds the right spot. Given bright light, warmth and consistent care, it rewards you with beautiful new leaves throughout the growing season. Its sculptural shape makes it a favourite for modern interiors and anyone looking to add a touch of jungle to their home.
Plant Care
Light:Bright indirect light is best.
Watering:This plant likes to have consistently moist soil, think moist, and not soaking wet.
Temperature:18-25°C is ideal. These plants do not like sudden chills and prefer it warm and humid.
Potting:A well-draining and moisture-retaining mix fit this plant well. Try ourAiry Aroidmix with a bit of added vermiculite to help retain moisture. I think Alocasias grow well inLecaand take some of the fuss out of growing this sometimes tricky plant.
Hot tips:These plants can be zombies (i.e. they return from the dead). In winter, they sometimes go dormant but don't throw that pot out yet! Your alocasia will likely grow anew come spring and warmer weather.
Pet Friendly:Mildly toxic to pets and humans
