The Alocasia Polly, also known as the African Mask Plant, is a striking houseplant noted for its dark green leaves with prominent veining, often displaying a variegation that includes yellow. The yellow variegation in Alocasia Polly can add a splash of colour, making it a visually appealing addition to indoor plant collections. Here's a detailed description and care guide for this plant:

Description

Alocasia Polly with yellow variegation features large, arrowhead-shaped leaves with deep green colouration and a glossy finish. The variegation manifests as irregular yellow patches or streaks on the leaves, which may vary from leaf to leaf. The plant's dramatic foliage stands on sturdy, upright stalks, which can give it a sculptural appearance.

Care Guide

Light

Alocasia Polly thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves, especially the variegated parts which are more susceptible to damage. A north-facing window or a position that receives filtered light is ideal.

Watering

Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During the winter months, reduce watering slightly but never let the soil dry out completely.

Humidity

This plant prefers high humidity levels. Regular misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier can help in maintaining the humidity around the plant. Low humidity environments can lead to browning leaf edges.

Temperature

Alocasia Polly prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 18°C to 25°C. It should be protected from drafts and sudden temperature changes, which can stress the plant.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix designed for aroids or mix your own using peat, perlite, and potting soil. The goal is to have a medium that holds moisture but allows excess water to drain quickly.

Fertilisation

Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every four weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the autumn and stop in the winter as the plant's growth slows down.

Pruning and Maintenance

Remove any yellowing or dead leaves to keep the plant healthy and prevent potential pest issues. Pruning is also a good practice to encourage more vigorous growth and maintain a desirable shape.

Pest Control

Alocasia Polly can be prone to pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Regular inspections and wiping down the leaves with a damp cloth can help prevent infestations. If pests are detected, treat the plant with neem oil or an appropriate insecticidal soap.

Propagation

Propagation of variegated Alocasia Polly can be challenging as it must be done through division to ensure the variegation is carried over. This is best done during the repotting in spring, by carefully separating the rhizomes and potting them individually.

This care guide should help you maintain a healthy, vibrant Alocasia Polly with yellow variegation, allowing you to enjoy its dramatic foliage and unique colouration.
