Alocasia amazonica 'Polly'

Here in the Pacific NW, alocasias can live and grow outdoors in the summer shade garden, but are much too tender to survive our winters outside. 'Polly' is the perfect size for growing indoors year-round, averaging one to three feet tall and almost as wide. The distinctive veining on the shiny green leaves make this specimen a standout on its own or as the "thriller" in a combined planter. Alocasias may go dormant in the winter if they are allowed to get too dry, so water thoroughly then let the top layer of soil dry out before watering again.
