Alocasia Polly Variegata 6cm

🌿 Alocasia ‘Polly Variegata’ Care Guide

Polly Variegata is all about classic Alocasia drama with a collector upgrade — bold arrow-shaped leaves, striking white veins, and crisp variegation that makes every leaf completely unique. Compact, eye-catching, and guaranteed to steal the spotlight. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light
• Needs strong filtered light to maintain variegation
• Avoid direct sun — pale sections can scorch easily
• Too little light may reduce variegation and slow growth

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy
• Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings
• Excellent drainage is essential — Alocasia roots hate sitting in wet compost
• Water consistently, especially during active growth

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%)
• Dry air can cause crispy edges and damaged new leaves
• Thrives in humid rooms, cabinets, or grouped plant displays

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced diluted liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding during cooler months or dormancy

🌱 Quick Tips

• Variegated plants grow more slowly than green Pollys
• Warm, stable temperatures encourage cleaner unfurling
• Chunky, airy substrate helps prevent root problems
• May go dormant if temperatures drop significantly
