Root Rot 😱✨

The most significant factor leading to the demise of Alocasia Polly is root rot.

Why?

Because her tuberous roots hate sitting in soggy soil.

They need oxygen. Not a swamp.

The solution?

Start with a chunky, well-draining mix—add perlite to boost airflow and keep water moving.

Water only when the top inch is dry. No routine. No overwatering.

Already noticing signs of rot?

Flush the soil with a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution (1 part peroxide, 3 parts water).

It oxygenates the roots and kills bacteria—like first aid for the underground.
