This petite version of Alocasia is practically a sculpture. The waxy, deep green to near-black leaves with white veins are truly eye-catching. Other common names include 'African Mask', 'Polly', and “Dwarf Amazonica'. Species plants are native to the humid tropical rainforests, understory vegetation sites, and along streams or marshy places from India to Eastern Australia. Naturally, it needs temps between 60-80°F, high humidity, and well-draining soil to replicate its native environment. Alocasia is a heavy absorber of nutrients and needs low and slow fertilizers with every watering to thrive.
- Thrives in medium light
