Alocasia x amazonica ‘Polly’, commonly called Polly alocasia or African mask plant, is a hybrid with Southeast Asian lineage known for its dark green, glossy leaves with sharply defined white veins and deeply scalloped edges. What makes this plant special is its high-contrast, almost sculpted look—bold veining and dramatic leaf shape that gives it a striking, architectural presence.
Light drives both leaf contrast and overall structure. Place it in an east or south-facing window where it gets bright, consistent light without direct sun sitting on the leaves. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K placed 10–12 inches from the top of the plant. In lower light, the leaves come in smaller with less defined veining and the plant may lean. Strong, even light keeps the leaves broader and the contrast sharp.
Watering and environment need to stay consistent. Keep the soil lightly moist, never soggy and never fully dried out, using a mix of succulent soil, perlite, and orchid bark to keep airflow high. This plant reacts quickly—if a leaf yellows and drops while a new one is forming, that can be normal energy cycling. If multiple leaves decline while the soil is wet, the roots are staying too saturated. If edges crisp while the leaf stays firm, it’s reacting to humidity swings rather than watering frequency.

Let customers speak for us
from 782 reviewsI was shocked when I opened this up! So much plant for a 4" pot! The syngonium is becoming one of my favorites, I think I have 5 varieties now. I was stunned with the quality of the packing of the plant, and even better, what I thought was leaf crisp at first glance, is actually a feature of the leaf, leaving a dark outline around the leaf, adding striking contrast. I love it!
I've ordered 4 plants and haven't been disappointed
My plants arrive healthy and happy, packaging is secure from crazy weather fluctuations
The Rooted Plant Shop does not disappoint. My tall beautifully grown Monstera Albo arrived (from over 550 miles away) in pristine condition. Her large foliage is iconic and a work of nature’s art. She even has a huge new leaf unfurling, which has an early indication of a stellar array of variegated vibrant blend of color. I am over the moon happy 😊
Beautiful plant! Wrapped well. Came with care instructions. Quick shipper.
