Alocasia x Amazonica Polly Elephants Ears 16cm Pot 50cm Tall Plants

A impressive plant, with large arrow shaped white veined leaves. Position: bright but indirect light Soil: good potting compost Rate of growth: average Hardiness: tender (indoors only) Current height: approximately 50cm (+ or - 10% including the pot) Pot cover: choose an 18cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot Like its namesake (elephant's ear), the leaves are large, which is why they make a really big impact. Please note that the pot in the photo is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. Home care: This plant needs warmth and humidity. If you have a warm, light bathroom that could be perfect. Otherwise stand the pot on a tray of damp pebbles to try and keep the humidity levels up and/or mist regularly. Keep the temperature at a minimum of 16C, warmer if possible. Water regularly in the summer, reducing through the winter, and feed with a liquid feed in spring/summer every 3-4 weeks. Dormancy is a natural process, triggered by a reduction in light, cooler temperatures, and drier air and soil mimicking the seasonal changes in the plant's natural area. If the plant is beginning to enter a dormant period by shedding leaves or discolouring and dying back then reduce watering, light and maintain cooler conditions. The corm or bulb should only be watered lightly when the top inch of soil has become dry. The plant will regrow when warm, bright, moist conditions return. | Primrose Alocasia x Amazonica Polly Elephants Ears 16cm Pot 50cm Tall Plants in Green
