Know before you buy
No, this plant prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it will grow best and maintain its vibrant leaf patterns when placed near a window with filtered sunlight.
No, the Alocasia Polly is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
Because this plant thrives in tropical environments, it does well in bathrooms or kitchens where humidity is naturally higher. If your home is dry, you can also group it with other plants or place it on a pebble tray filled with water to increase the ambient moisture.
The Alocasia Polly arrives pre-potted in a stylish charcoal Ecopot with a matching saucer. It is ready for immediate display in your home right out of the box.
You should water your plant when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Be careful not to let the soil dry out completely, but ensure the pot has proper drainage to avoid water sitting at the bottom.
