The plant looks just like a skeleton! The leaves of the Alocasia 'Polly' are almost black with light veins. The leaves of the Ponytail palm are extraordinary, plus they purify the air. A stunning addition to your living room and bedroom! This jungle plant needs high humidity. Always keep the potting soil moist, without letting the plant stand in water. Spray the leaves at least once per week. This prevents the leaf edges from drying out. The Alocasia prefers moderate sunlight and so it should be placed in partial shade.
