Alocasia Mandalay is a stabilized mutation of Alocasia Polly. We love it for its large, dark oval leaves with white veins. Its growth habit is much more compact, making it ideal for small spaces. Alocasia prefers bright light and a tight pot. To promote its growth, it is recommended to keep its soil slightly moist and fertilize regularly.
Caution! Risk of toxicity if swallowed. Alocasia sap contains oxalic acid - risk of irritation if it comes into contact with skin or eyes.
