{"product_id":"alocasia-polly-pink-snow-2","title":"Alocasia Polly Pink Snow 3”","description":"\u003cp\u003eA truly rare find in the collector aroid world, the \u003cstrong\u003eAlocasia Polly Pink Snow\u003c\/strong\u003e takes the iconic African Mask form and adorns it with an ethereal dusting of white and blush-pink variegation — a snowfall of color scattered across deep, sculptural green leaves. The contrast is striking: dark, velvety foliage with bold white veining, interrupted by soft pink and cream splashes that make each new leaf an event.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 3”, this is a young specimen with its most spectacular growth still ahead. The Pink Snow’s variegation can shift and deepen as the plant matures and conditions improve — making it one of the more dynamic and rewarding variegated Alocasias to grow. An exceptional addition to any serious collector’s lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light is essential for maintaining and developing the pink and white variegation. Low light will result in greener, less expressive new growth. A quality grow light is an excellent supplement. Never expose to direct sun, which scorches variegated tissue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Small pots dry out faster — check regularly and water thoroughly, allowing full drainage each time. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, which causes rapid root rot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thrives at 60–80% humidity. A humidifier is strongly recommended — the Pink Snow is sensitive to dry air, which can cause browning on variegated leaf margins and slowed growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from cold drafts, vents, and temperatures below 60°F. Consistent warmth encourages steady new leaf production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e A light, chunky aroid mix is ideal — combine potting soil with perlite and orchid bark for excellent drainage and root aeration. Avoid heavy, water-retentive soils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed every 2–4 weeks with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring–summer). Consistent nutrition supports variegation expression and healthy new growth. Reduce or pause in fall and winter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 3”, expect to repot within 6–12 months as the plant establishes. Size up by one pot at a time and refresh the soil mix at each repotting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePests:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monitor closely for spider mites and thrips — both are common on Alocasias and can damage the delicate variegated tissue quickly. Inspect undersides of leaves regularly and treat at first sign with neem oil or insecticidal soap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToxicity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Leaf and Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47456600522923,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/5617\/6299\/files\/C70FE800-F96F-4ECD-9EFC-012A9529C867.jpg?v=1789073903","url":"https:\/\/leafandreefplants.com\/products\/alocasia-polly-pink-snow-2","provider":"Leaf and Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
