Alocasia Polly 'African Mask'
The definitive tropical icon with bold, prehistoric charm.
The Alocasia Polly, famously known as the African Mask, is a striking plant that looks like it belongs in a lush, ancient jungle. Its dark, waxy, almost-black leaves are shaped like a traditional shield, featuring prominent, wavy edges and thick, silvery-white veins. Compact yet incredibly bold, this plant is a natural air purifier that adds an architectural, high-contrast look to any bright room.
