The essential Alocasia Polly with its large leaves reminiscent of elephant ears. We love it for its dark leaves and pink stems. In addition to standing out for the appearance and size of its leaves, Alocasias are known as purifying plants. Alocasia prefers bright light and a cramped pot. This variety also requires a lot of water and fertilizer. To promote its growth, it is recommended to keep its soil slightly moist and add fertilizer regularly.
Caution! Risk of toxicity if swallowed. Alocasia sap contains oxalic acid - risk of irritation if it comes into contact with skin or eyes.
