Alocasia 'Polly' Pink Variegata

Parent species: Alocasia amazonica

A variegated mutation of 'Polly' with white, cream and soft pink patches and marbling on its dark, white-veined leaves; the pink is strongest on new leaves. The variegation is unstable, varies from leaf to leaf and shows best in strong indirect light. Collector's note: in trade it is also sold as 'Polly Pink', 'Pink Polly Variegated' or 'Polly Pink Snowflake'. There is also a non-variegated 'Pink Polly' with pink petioles – that is a different plant.
