Why It Works in Dubai
Alocasia Polly's tropical heritage means it naturally thrives in warm environments. Dubai's indoor temperatures suit it perfectly, and while it appreciates higher humidity, regular misting or a pebble tray easily compensates for air-conditioned dryness. Position it in bright, indirect light away from harsh afternoon sun for the best leaf colour and growth.
