Looking for a spectacular houseplant that really catches the eye? Dark green, glossy leaves with sharply contrasting veins coupled with a striking shape and form of the leaves makes Alocasia Polly the notorious choice. These plants are homebodies, preferring to spend their time in the lower light levels of interior rooms or those with smaller windows. Their sanctuary is a room that faces north or east.
- Known for its distinctive glossy leaves with striking contrasting veins
- Perfect statement plant
- Prefers medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight.
- Uses: Bright Spaces, Humid Spaces
Care Information
- For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing.
- Protect furniture when watering.
- Alocasia does best with bright indirect light but will benefit from some early morning or late day sun indoors (right in front of an eastern or western window), particularly during wintertime. You may need to use a grow light during dark winter months, or move them to a sunnier window during that time.
- It prefers to be consistently moist, but not wet and needs to have good drainage. It can't take wet soil, but also doesn't tolerate dry soils well. A well-draining soil is necessary, and the plant should not be allowed to sit in water. Allow the top inch or so to dry out before watering again.
- All-purpose potting mixes with additional orchid bark and perlite added is a beneficial medium for Alocasias.
- Alocasias also would appreciate higher humidity, so break out that humidifier.
- If your plant drops its leaves don't give up. (These plants like very consistent conditions overall when it comes to watering, temperature, and light.) Alocasias grow from bulb-like corms and can sprout new leaves under the right conditions.
