Pro Tip

This plant may occasionally enter dormancy in cooler months. Don’t worry if growth pauses or a few leaves drop, simply reduce watering slightly and resume normal care as it regrows in spring.

Light and Placement
Best suited to bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate a bit of early morning sun, avoid harsh direct light, which may scorch the leaves. It thrives near filtered windows or in a bright room with indirect exposure.
Watering and Care
Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch begins to dry, and ensure the pot has good drainage. Alocasia Polly prefers higher humidity levels and benefits from regular misting or a nearby humidifier. During cooler months, growth may slow and water needs may decrease.
Growth and Size
This is a compact variety, typically growing 1 to 2 feet tall indoors. Its upright shape makes it ideal for smaller spaces or as a striking accent among trailing plants.
Pet-Friendly?
This plant is considered toxic if ingested. It’s best to keep it out of reach of pets that like to chew on leaves.
Benefits and Air Quality
Alocasia Polly can contribute to improved indoor air quality, though its true strength lies in its dramatic, architectural presence.
Difficulty level
Moderate. It thrives with consistent care and attention to humidity. A great choice for plant owners ready to go one step beyond beginner-friendly plants.
