The Amazon Black Shield Plant (Alocasia amazonica), also known as Polly, is a remarkable member of the Elephant Ear family. Its glossy, deep-green leaves with striking white veins make it a must-have for any indoor plant collection or tropical garden setup.

This plant grows to a height of 18-22 inches, periodically producing new shoots that quickly form a lush cluster of leaves. Alocasia amazonica thrives indoors with bright, indirect sunlight and requires evenly moist soil—neither too wet nor too dry. Regular monthly feeding with a balanced 20-20-20 fertilizer ensures healthy growth and vibrant foliage.

Given its tropical origin, the Amazon Black Shield plant dislikes cold temperatures and may die back to the soil line if exposed to frost. However, it will regrow when the temperature warms. To protect the plant in colder climates, it is best grown in containers and moved indoors during winter.

The plant you’ll receive comes in a 4-inch pot and stands about 6 inches tall, with multiple leaves and stems, ready to thrive in your home. With proper care, Alocasia amazonica can live indefinitely as a houseplant, making it an excellent choice for both experienced and beginner plant enthusiasts.

Add a touch of the tropics to your indoor space with the Amazon Black Shield plant, a perfect blend of beauty and functionality!
