Alocasia Polly
Alocasia Polly
Dark, glossy, shield-shaped leaves with electric white veins - I'm the Alocasia Polly, and 'dramatic' is my resting state. Fun fact with a twist: despite the 'Amazonica' in my botanical name, no Alocasia has ever grown wild near the Amazon. I was named after a 1950s Miami nursery. I contain multitudes.
Care is simple enough: bright, indirect light and small, regular drinks - I hate soggy feet more than I hate bad lighting.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Large - 200mm nursery pot, approx 30-60cm tall
- X-Large - 250mm nursery pot, approx 60-90cm tall
I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.
Pets: I'm not a snack - keep me away from nibblers.
Make my foliage gleam with The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine, and let a Jardin Terrazzo Pot in White show off my dark side.
🌱 One tree planted with every order.

Care mode
Generally easy but loves the extra attention. Secret to success is not to over-water the plant. Remember to trim yellowing lower leaves to encourage new growth and in winter this indoor plant may become dormant.
Feeding your indoor plants
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
We take great care in growing, packaging, and shipping your new plants so they’re ready to thrive in your home. This includes keeping them safe while they travel from our wholesale nursery to your doorstep.
