Planting and Care Instructions
- Placement: Alocasia Amazonica ‘Polly’ is versatile and can be used to beautify both indoor and outdoor spaces. It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. For outdoor placement, ensure it is in a shaded area to protect it from direct sunlight.
- Watering: After planting, avoid watering the plant directly for the first 5-6 days. Instead, lightly spray the medium to keep it slightly moist. This allows the plant to acclimate to its new environment without overwatering. Once established, water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid waterlogging.
- Soil and Potting: Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent water from sitting at the roots, which can cause rot. A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to facilitate proper water flow.
- Fertilizing: Feed the plant with a balanced, liquid houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. This helps promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
- Temperature and Humidity: Alocasia Amazonica ‘Polly’ prefers a warm, humid environment. Maintain temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and provide higher humidity levels, especially if grown indoors. You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier nearby or using a pebble tray with water.
- Maintenance: The plant requires minimal maintenance. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and tidy. Dust the leaves occasionally to maintain their glossy appearance.
