Plant special features

  • Alocasia amazonica ā€˜Polly’ is a hybrid plant produced by crossing two species namely, Alocasia longiloba ā€˜Watsoniana’ and Alocasia sanderiana that originated in the Tropical forests areas in southern China and Southeast Asia.
  • In 1950s, Salvadore Mauro, an owner of a plant nursery (now defunct) named ā€œAmazon Nursery,ā€ named Alocasia Amazonica after his business and thus the confusion of plant’s origin continues. So, technically speaking, Alocasia amazonica ā€˜Polly’ did not originate in the Amazon or anywhere near it!
  • Alocasia ā€˜Polly’ is a fast-growing plant. On average, it grows one to two new leaves every month while in a suitable growing conditions, though smaller plants may start out a little more slowly.
  • Unfortunately, Alocasia amazonica ā€˜Polly’ are not safe for pets and children as it contains calcium oxalate crystals that cause a burning sensation when touched, especially in the mouth. You must keep the plant away from pets and children.
HOW TO PLANT CARE

PLANT CARE

Sunlight: Alocasia Amazonica ā€˜Polly’ requires plenty of indirect bright light and grows best in outdoors in a shady region or full shaded balcony. Just be sure to bring it back indoors before winter. Inside home, your plant will appreciate a windowsill spot with plenty of light, but not too much harsh sun.
Watering: The parents of Alocasia Amazonica are native to tropical rainforests where their roots stay moist. Therefore, it is important to water the plant frequently and keeping the soil moist enough but not soggy, especially during the growing seasons of spring throughout summer. You can check the soil for moisture, if the top inch of the soil feels dry, apply water until it runs from the pot’s bottom drain holes.
Temprature: Ideal temperatures are between 65°F and 80°F during the day.
Soil: Best soil for healthy growth is light and well- aerated potting soil. You can try aroid soil mix, an example of an easy mix could be potting soil, bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss in equal quantities.
Fertilizer:
  • Many Nurseries uses macro nutrients, NPK (i.e. nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) to maximize growth rates in their greenhouses. The nutrients your plant came with should last around six months, so it is around that time period that we suggest to pay attention to all the growth changes and have fertilizer ready to go for all your plant nutritional needs. After that six months of fertilization, all of your plants nutrients are a responsibility for you to undertake as the rightful new plant parent.
  • Feed the plant with organic fertilizer once in every 2 months during spring and summer.
  • Slightly loosen the topsoil without disturbing the roots of the plant, once in two weeks so that it can uptake nutrients and moisture easily.
Repotting: Alocasia Amazonica prefers to be slightly root bound, so it only needs to be repotted once every few years, if needed. However, it does appreciate some fresh soil from time to time.Best time to repot is during spring and summer growing months.
During repotting, you can also choose to divide an Alocasia. The roots of the plant actually consist of multiple corms and clumps, each with their own root systems. These can be potted up separately if you prefer multiple smaller plants over a single large one.

Dos and Don’ts:

  • The biggest threat is root rot due to over-watering. Although Alocasia Amazonica requires soil that moist enough for healthy growth that doesn’t mean it will tolerate prolonged wet feet due to soggy soil.
  • Alocasia Amazonica is not plagued by any major disease problems, when given proper care and grown in preferred conditions. The only major pest that affects indoor grown Alocasia Amazonica’s is spider mites. These tiny pests suck the juices from the plant and can weaken it leading to its death, if not quickly controlled. You can easily treat a spider mite problem by spraying the top and undersides of leaves with an insecticidal soap or neem-oil.

Styling and dƩcor tips:

  • Perfect for a bright bathroom. Try placing your Alocasia amazonica ā€˜Polly’ in a more humid area in the home, such as the kitchen or bathroom, in a place offering sufficient light.
  • You can also group plants together so they can take advantage of the moisture and each one expels.
