Care Instructions
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct, scorching sun rays to protect the glossy sheen and color of the foliage.
- Water: Keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top 1–2 inches of well-draining soil to dry out before watering thoroughly.
- Temperature: Prefers consistent warmth between 65°F and 80°F. Avoid putting it near chilly drafts or air conditioners.
- Humidity: Strongly prefers high-humidity microclimates (50% to 60% or higher).
Pet Safety Information
- Toxic to Pets: Like all Alocasias, the Polly contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals and is highly toxic to dogs and cats if chewed or ingested. Keep this specimen safely out of reach of pets.
