Expert Grower’s Tips for Alocasia Polly

Advice from our growing experts

Humidity Boost

Humidity Boost

Use a humidifier or group your Alocasia Polly with other plants to increase moisture in the air. This keeps its dramatic leaves healthy and prevents crisping edges.

Water Balance

Water Balance

Always check the top half of the soil before watering. Overwatering leads to root rot, while letting it dry out too much can cause leaves to droop.

Leaf Care

Leaf Care

Dust the leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them glossy and photosynthesizing efficiently. Clean leaves also deter pests like spider mites.

These tips are based on 30+ years of professional growing experience at our Florida nursery.

Alocasia Polly FAQ

Mature Alocasia Polly plants usually reach 1 to 2 feet tall and wide, making them a compact but striking option for houseplant enthusiasts. Their size is manageable, yet the bold foliage ensures they still stand out. This balance makes them ideal for desks, shelves, or smaller living areas where space is limited.

No, Alocasia Polly is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals in the leaves. Ingesting even small amounts may cause irritation of the mouth, drooling, and stomach upset. Always keep this plant out of reach of pets and children for safety.

Yellow leaves may result from overwatering, insufficient light, or natural leaf aging. If only older leaves are yellowing, it’s often a normal growth cycle. However, if multiple leaves are affected, adjust watering frequency and check your plant’s light exposure.

This variety is considered a slow to moderate grower, unlike larger Alocasia relatives. With proper light, warmth, and humidity, it will send out new leaves periodically throughout the year. Growth tends to speed up during spring and summer when conditions are ideal.

Yes, Alocasia Polly thrives outdoors in USDA Zones 10–12 where temperatures remain warm year-round. In cooler climates, you can place it outside during summer months to enjoy the fresh air and humidity. Always bring it back indoors before nighttime temperatures drop below 60°F.

Water when the top 25–50% of soil feels dry, typically once per week indoors. Outdoor plants in warmer climates may require more frequent watering, especially in summer. Always ensure your pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
