Alocasia Polly

Alocasia × amazonica ‘Polly’

Add dramatic tropical character to your plant collection with this rooted and established Alocasia Polly. Alocasia × amazonica ‘Polly’ is an eye-catching tropical houseplant known for its glossy, deep green arrow-shaped leaves, bold silvery-white veins, and beautifully scalloped leaf margins. Its striking foliage gives the plant an almost sculptural appearance, making it a favorite for tropical interiors and houseplant collections.

This healthy starter plant has developed an established root system and is actively growing, giving you a strong foundation for a beautiful mature specimen. As it develops, Alocasia Polly produces increasingly larger leaves with more pronounced veining and its characteristic dramatic shape.
