The African Mask Elephant's Ear had many common names and botanical names such as Amazon Elephant's Ear, African Mask, Alocasia amazonica 'Polly', Alocasia Polly, Alocasia x amazonica 'Polly' and Elephant's Ear. Beautiful, rare and exotic all describe this spectacular houseplant. The very tropical and exquisite African Mask has bright white veins protruding from a glossy dark greenish black background arrow shaped leaves. This breath taking tropical perennial plant grows large thick leaves which can reach over a foot in length. Being that this ornamental is very tropical is a necessity to have the Alocasia amazonica 'Polly' in temperatures never dropping below 55 degrees F. They are dramatic as ornamental houseplants and thrive in light shade to full shade conditions in or outdoor. This exotic plant should be kept well watered when growing. Prefers moist but not wet soil and humidity high as possible. Misting is encouraged but only with rain or bottled water. Tap water may cause damage to the plant and in some cases death. The Alocasia Polly makes for a great exotic house plant able to thrive in most if not all household conditions as long the few requirements are met.
