Alocasia Polly is relatively low maintenance, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners alike. However, it thrives in specific conditions that mimic its native habitat. Providing bright, indirect light is essential for optimal growth, as direct sunlight can scorch the delicate leaves.

Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
