Everyone meet Loca 💚✨ (from aLOCAsia, get it? ðŸ˜) Anyway, I got her today. I’m so excited to add her to my plant family. Any care tips are greatly appreciated. As soon as I brought it home I made sure to check for pests and thoroughly cleaned the leaves with neem oil!
Ive had a time with this plant, but ive learned it doesnt like direct light and i fertilize very weakly with every watering. isolate it from ur other plants for a bit tho bc thats how i had a spider mite outbreak 😅

I use a feather duster on mine, a tip I learned from Leafy Diva on YouTube ( check out her channel for great tips) and use superthrive in my watering can. I clean with Bonide insecticidal soap every 3-4 weeks. I also like perfect plantista
Omg thank you so much for the recommendations definitely will follow the care tips and will watch Leafy Diva!

I’m also confused with the name. Since Planta categorized it as a Alocasia Polly?
2 J'aimeYa I feel the Polly has more wavy edges if you google them. I decided to go with the ‘bambino arrow’ version as it has the most similar look and characteristics based on what I’ve read.
