Alocasia Polly
Alocasia Polly, also known as the African Mask Plant, is a striking tropical plant famous for its bold, arrow-shaped leaves with dramatic silvery-white veins. Its compact size and sculptural appearance make it a popular choice for indoor plant collections and vivarium’s, adding a touch of elegance and exotic charm.
Care
Lighting Requirement:
Alocasia Polly thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some morning sunlight, but prolonged exposure to direct sun can scorch the leaves. Insufficient light may result in slower growth and smaller leaves.
Watering & Humidity:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent overwatering. Alocasia Polly loves high humidity, making it ideal for tropical setups. Regular misting, a humidifier, or a humidity tray will help maintain the necessary moisture levels.
Temperature Requirement:
The ideal temperature range for Alocasia Polly is between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid temperatures below 60°F (16°C) and protect it from cold drafts to ensure healthy growth.
Special Notes:
Alocasia Polly may go through dormancy during colder months, where growth slows, and some leaves may die back. This is normal, and care should be adjusted to avoid overwatering during this period.
Alocasia Polly is a stunning plant that adds a bold, tropical flair to any space, perfect for plant lovers who appreciate dramatic foliage!
