Alocasia Polly 'African Mask'

Bearing a striking resemblance to its name, Alocasia Polly 'African Mask' is an exotic and visually stunning houseplant originating from the tropics of Southeast Asia. It's famed for its dramatic, large, arrowhead-shaped leaves that boast a deep, glossy green hue, accented by striking white veins, evoking the intricate beauty of an African tribal mask.

The stems also contribute to the plant's overall architectural look, giving it a structural form that is sure to make a statement in any room. Adding to the drama of its foliage, Alocasia Polly 'African Mask' also produces delicate, cream-colored flowers, which bloom intermittently throughout the year. These blooms are typically hidden beneath the foliage, creating an exciting treasure hunt for the observant plant owner. However, it's the foliage that remains the star of the show, with the flowers serving as a subtle accent to the plant's stunning leaves. The Alocasia Polly 'African Mask' is a showstopper in every sense, making it a must-have for those looking to add a touch of the exotic to their home or garden.
