# I picked this alocasia up today and wasn’t sure if it’s a Polly or…

_Posted by Nikiller on 2026-07-23_

I picked this alocasia up today and wasn’t sure if it’s a Polly or not as its veins are much more defined, the leaves are much more rippled, and the underside is much more red than the 2 Pollys I already have. 1st pic is new one and 2nd is just the most recent picture of one of my existing ones.

To me the one in the first pic definitely looks like a Polly, just maybe a more mature specimen than your other!
