Alocasia Polly 'African Mask'

The plant that launched a thousand aroid obsessions. Alocasia Polly — the African Mask plant — grows glossy, deep green arrowhead leaves slashed with bold white veins and dramatic scalloped edges. It looks exotic; it acts surprisingly manageable.

Keep it in bright, indirect light with soil that stays lightly moist, and mist or add a pebble tray for humidity. Compact enough for tabletops but striking enough to anchor a shelf, Polly is the gateway alocasia every collection starts with. Available in 2", 4", and 6" pots.
