Spectral foliage. Blushed veins. Zero filler.
This is a fully rooted plant from the grower’s personal collection—grown slowly in LECA and selected for stable structure and expressive variegation. You’ll receive the exact plant pictured, no guesswork required.
A rare and visually striking form of Alocasia amazonica ‘Polly’, ‘Pink Polly Ghost’ expresses a chimeric mutation that suppresses chlorophyll across large portions of the leaf surface. The result is a luminous white-to-silver base accented by soft pink venation, with some leaves leaning cool-toned while others develop subtle blush undertones depending on light and nutrient levels.
Because of the reduced pigment, this cultivar is photosensitive and thrives in bright, indirect light with high humidity and minimal stress. It’s upright, rhizomatous, and non-vining—ideal for growers who prefer rare foliage plants with presence and structure.

Shipping Note:
This plant ships bare root in moss unless soil acclimation is requested. Each one is carefully inspected and packed to arrive healthy and stable. Because the foliage is highly variegated and low in chlorophyll, minor cosmetic wear during shipping is normal—this may include slight edge crisping or temporary color fading. These are purely superficial and have no impact on root health or future growth.
