Alocasia amazonica 'Polly' care

Substrate: Chunky, fast-draining aroid mix: 40% orchid bark, 30% perlite, 20% potting compost, 10% charcoal.
Watering: Allow the top 2-3cm of substrate to dry between waterings. Reduce in winter.
Humidity: 60-80%.
Feeding: Balanced liquid fertiliser at quarter to half strength every 3-4 weeks during active growth.
Repotting: Every 12-18 months, or when offsets crowd the pot.

Common problems

Sudden leaf loss / dormancy
Cause: Natural seasonal response
Fix: Reduce watering and wait for new growth in spring
Root/corm rot
Cause: Overwatering combined with dense substrate
Fix: Repot into fresh dry chunky mix and reduce watering
Spider mites
Cause: Low humidity and still air
Fix: Increase humidity and treat with insecticidal soap

How to propagate Alocasia amazonica 'Polly'

Methods: Rhizome division, Offset (corm/pup). Step-by-step guide
Difficulty: Easy. Forgiving of missed waterings, average home humidity, and imperfect light. A solid pick for beginners or low-fuss collections.
Time to establish: 2-3 months
True from cuttings: Yes. Cuttings keep the cultivar's character.
Notes: Produces basal offsets readily, propagated by division rather than seed. The named sports (Polly, Bambino, Venom) are all maintained through vegetative propagation/tissue culture to preserve their distinct mutations.
