This specimen carries an unusual dual expression: some leaves throw clean green‑on‑green sectoral variegation, while others arrive with pink stardust splash scattered across the lamina. No two leaves are alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe \"Ghost\" name refers to the pale, near‑white leaves this lineage is capable of producing under the right conditions. This plant isn't yet expressing full ghost leaves — the genetic disposition is there, and it may emerge as the specimen matures. For a collector, that's part of the appeal: an evolving plant rather than a finished one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eUnderneath the variegation it remains the classic 'Polly' — the same arrowhead leaves, the deep ribbed venation, the compact habit that made the original such an enduring houseplant. Care is unchanged: bright indirect light, a chunky aroid mix, steady warmth and humidity, and a gentle balanced feed programme. As with all chimeric variegation, leaves carrying heavy white or pink sectors photosynthesise less efficiently than fully green leaves and benefit from a little extra attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCultivar: \u003cem\u003eAlocasia\u003c\/em\u003e × \u003cem\u003eamazonica\u003c\/em\u003e 'Polly' — variegated mutation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eVariegation: mixed sectoral green‑on‑green and pink stardust splash; ghost potential as the plant matures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLeaf form: classic 'Polly' arrowhead with deep ribbed venation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLight: bright, indirect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHumidity: 60%+ preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSubstrate: chunky aroid mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHabit: compact — suited to mid‑sized collector display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStability: chimeric — leaf‑to‑leaf expression will vary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA genuinely unusual take on a familiar plant.
