Alocasia ‘Polly’
How can you not go “Wow!” when you see this stunner?!
The Elephant Ear has the most striking green leaves accentuated by whitish and green veins that just pop! The leaves are slick and glossy and have an almost alien like purple and green underside.
This plant works well in warmer rooms, grows fast during the summer months and isn’t the hardest to look after either. A winner all round!
**Pot not included**
Pot size: 12cm
Height: 30cm
Care advice and additional information
Water - Keep the soil moist, allow the top 1 - 2 inches of soil to dry out before watering and avoid overly cold tap water. As this is a tropical plant humidity is key so a light weekly misting will be well received.
Sunlight - Bright, indirect light - away from direct sunlight as this can burn the leaves.
Toxicity - Keep away from pets and children.
Feed - Once a month in Spring and Summer, slow release fertiliser works best.
Packaging
All plants come in a plastic nursery pot and Kraft compostable brown paper bag. Plants can be wrapped in coloured Kraft paper (black, pink or green) for free but by request beforehand to prevent wastage. All plants will include a care card.
