Description

The Alocasia Polly, also known as Alocasia Amazonica or African Mask Plant, is a tropical houseplant with a bold personality. Its arrow-shaped leaves are deep green with striking, creamy white veins, giving it an almost graphic appearance. The wavy leaf edges and glossy texture make it a true eye-catcher — small in size, but big in presence.

Native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, Polly is a compact cultivar that fits perfectly into smaller spaces. With a height of around 40 to 50 cm, it’s ideal for windowsills, side tables, or plant stands. Its unique leaf pattern resembles an African mask, which explains its nickname.

Although it rarely blooms indoors, Polly is all about its spectacular foliage. It’s a plant for true enthusiasts — one that adds an exotic and mysterious touch to your interior. Pair it with other tropical plants for an urban jungle vibe, or let it shine solo as a botanical artwork.

Care tips

Polly loves bright, indirect light. Place it near an east- or west-facing window, but avoid direct sunlight — it can scorch the leaves. Too little light leads to leggy growth and faded colors. Rotate the pot regularly to ensure even growth and vibrant foliage.

As for watering: it has moderate needs but is sensitive to overwatering. Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry out before watering again. Use lukewarm water and make sure the pot has drainage holes. In winter, you can reduce watering slightly.

Polly thrives in high humidity. Mist its leaves regularly or place it near a humidifier. It’s mildly toxic, so keep it out of reach of pets. During the growing season, feed it every four weeks with a diluted liquid fertilizer. With the right care, it will remain a lively and healthy addition to your home for years to come.

Alocasia plant

Alocasia: krachtig en karaktervol

De Alocasia is een plantensoort met opvallende bladeren — van hartvormig tot puntig en gestructureerd. Sommige soorten doen denken aan olifantsoren, vandaar de bijnaam. Andere hebben juist een meer uitgesproken nerfpatroon of metallic glans. Ze houdt van licht en een beetje vocht, en groeit snel als ze zich thuis voelt. Deze plant heeft een krachtige uitstraling en past goed in ruime, lichte interieurs. Alocasia is een echte groeier — soms zelfs met nieuwe babyplantjes aan de voet. Bij Floraholic vind je Alocasia’s die niet alleen mooi zijn, maar ook sterk en gezond. Een plant met presence en flair.
