Alocasia Polly 'African Mask'

Alocasia Polly 'African Mask'

Botanical Name: Alocasia amazonica

Common Names: African Mask, Alocasia Polly, Elephant Ears

Description: The Alocasia Polly, also known as the African Mask or Elephant Ear, looks like it came straight from another planet! 

With its striking, deep green leaves adorned with bold, almost neon-white veins, this plant is a true showstopper. Its uniquely shaped foliage gives off an exotic, almost otherworldly vibe, making it a must-have for any houseplant enthusiast looking to add some drama to their indoor jungle.

But don’t be fooled by its beauty—this plant has a bit of a high-maintenance streak. It craves bright, indirect sunlight and soil that stays consistently moist (but never soggy). Cold temperatures? A total dealbreaker for Polly—it’s extremely sensitive to the chill, so keep it cozy! And if you have pets, be cautious, as this one is toxic to furry friends. 

With the right care, though, the Alocasia Polly will reward you with its mesmerizing, alien-like leaves that make a bold botanical statement in any home.
