Alocasia 'Polly' prefers bright indirect light — avoid direct sunlight which can burn the leaves. Water regularly, keeping the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. The plant loves high humidity, so frequent misting or a humidifier is recommended. The ideal temperature range is 18–26°C. Use a well-draining substrate with peat, perlite, and pine bark.
Yes, Alocasia 'Polly' is toxic to pets and children. It contains insoluble calcium oxalates in all parts of the plant. If ingested, symptoms may include mouth irritation, difficulty swallowing, excessive drooling, and nausea. It is recommended to place the plant out of reach of small children and pets. In case of ingestion, consult a doctor or veterinarian immediately.
Alocasia 'Polly' is available in two size variants: 6 cm pots (approximate height 15 cm, including pot) and 12 cm pots (approximate height 25–35 cm, including pot). The 12 cm variant is ideal for those who want a more impressive plant with larger, more developed leaves.
Yellowing leaves on Alocasia 'Polly' can be caused by several factors: overwatering (the most common cause), insufficient light, low air humidity, or temperatures that are too low. Check that the soil is well-drained and doesn't stay too wet. Make sure the plant receives bright indirect light and adequate humidity. It is normal for older leaves to gradually yellow as the plant grows new ones.
