Alocasia Polly Variegated Care Tips:

1. Light:

Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn. A location with filtered light or partial shade works well.

2. Soil:

Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally with added perlite or orchid bark for extra aeration. Avoid dense soil that retains too much moisture.

3. Watering:

Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Alocasias prefer consistent moisture but are sensitive to overwatering, so ensure the pot has drainage to prevent water buildup.

4. Humidity:

Thrives in high humidity. If indoor humidity is low, consider using a humidity tray or misting occasionally to keep the leaves lush and healthy.

5. Temperature:

Ideal in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid temperatures below 60°F (16°C), as Alocasias are sensitive to cold.

6. Fertilization:

Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant is dormant.

7. Propagation:

Best propagated through division of rhizomes. Carefully separate and replant the sections to encourage new growth.
