Sun Schedule: This plant prospers in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. It's the play of light and shadow that brings out the depth and beauty of its leaves, so placement is key.

Pet Friendly: A word of caution – Alocasia 'Polly' is not pet-friendly. It's best to place this plant in a spot that's out of reach for your pets to ensure their safety.

Care Intensity: Moderate attention is required for this plant. It's suited for those who enjoy engaging with their plants and are attentive to their care routines.

Water Schedule: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil become dry. The 'Polly' prefers a well-draining potting mix to prevent water from accumulating at the roots.

Grower Tip: Keep the leaves clean and dust-free to enhance their natural sheen and to allow the plant to breathe and photosynthesize efficiently. A regular misting will help recreate the humidity of its native tropical habitat.
