Care tips
Light | Alocasia Polly prefers bright but not direct light (which could scorch their leaves) for perfect growing conditions.
Water | Plenty of water. Keep the soil moist but don’t leave sitting in water. In winter allow the soil to almost dry out, but not completely. To avoid overwatering and root rot, ensure thorough drainage. Loves to be damp, not soggy.
Humidity | Happiest in a humid spot, like a bathroom or kitchen, although other spaces are fine, it would just be worth misting or keeping near other plants.
Temperature | Alocasia Poly prefers temperatures of between 18-25°C to thrive
