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 recognized as purifying plants. Alocasia prefers bright light and being cramped in its pot. Also, this variety is very demanding in water and fertilizer. To encourage its growth, it is recommended to keep your soil slightly moist and add fertilizer regularly.
Attention! Risk of toxicity if swallowed. The sap of Alocasias contains oxalic acid - risk of irritation in contact with the skin or eyes.
