Plant Care Guide for Alocasia Amazonica - 'Polly' (African Mask):

Watering:

  • Water your African Mask plant thoroughly, allowing the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between watering sessions.
  • Use room temperature water and avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
  • Increase watering during the growing season in spring and summer, and reduce in the dormant season in fall and winter.

Light:

  • Place your African Mask plant in bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight.
  • Provide some morning or evening sun, but avoid exposing the plant to strong midday sunlight, as this can scorch the leaves.

Temperature:

  • African Mask plants prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
  • Protect the plant from cold drafts, as temperatures below 60°F (15°C) can cause leaf drop.

Humidity:

  • African Mask plants prefer high humidity levels between 60-80%.
  • Increase humidity by using a humidifier, placing a tray of water near the plant, or grouping it with other plants.

Soil:

  • Use a well-draining soil mix consisting of equal parts of peat moss, perlite, and sand.
  • Repot the plant every 1-2 years to prevent the roots from becoming pot-bound.

Toxicity:

  • African Mask plants are toxic if ingested, so keep them away from children and pets.

By following these care tips, your Alocasia Amazonica - 'Polly' (African Mask) can thrive and produce its striking foliage.
