Alocasia ‘Polly Lava’

Alocasia ‘Polly Lava’ brings bold color to the classic Polly shape. Its sharply defined, arrow-shaped leaves feature contrasting veins alongside fiery splashes and marbling that can develop in shades of red, orange, pink, and warm cream. The result is a plant with tons of personality packed into a relatively compact growing habit.

One of the best parts of Polly Lava is its unpredictability—new foliage can emerge with completely different coloring and patterns from the leaf before it. As the leaves harden and mature, their colors and contrast may continue to develop.

Simple Care

• Light: Bright, filtered light; avoid prolonged harsh sun

• Water: Water once the top portion of the substrate has begun to dry

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity

• Soil: Well-draining, airy aroid substrate

• Temperature: Warm conditions around 65–85°F

• Fertilizer: Feed at a reduced strength during periods of active growth

Care Tip: Give Polly Lava plenty of bright indirect light without pushing it into intense direct sun. Good lighting helps support strong growth and allows its colorful foliage to show at its best, while excessive sun can scorch the lighter variegated areas.
