ABOUT OUR ALOCASIA POLLY

Hey there, I’m Polly. They call me the African mask plant, elephant ear plant and Alocasia Polly. I’m a very distinctive plant with an incredible out-of-this-world look. There aren't many houseplants on the market that look like me, that’s for sure! I like to think of myself as a one of a kind plant that should be snapped up before I’m gone!

I’m a hybrid plant mixed between two other species of Alocasia but my exact parents are still unknown. I'm quite particular about my environment. I prefer medium or indirect light and high humidity. I can be a bit fussy when it comes to tap water so it’s best to always water me with rain or filtered water. Although I like a humid environment I would suggest using a humidifier nearby rather than misting me. If large amounts of water drops are left on my leaves this could lead to some nasty bacteria problems on my foliage.

My out of this world vibe is sure to make your friends and family green with envy. Make sure to dust off a prime spot for me to be admired.

Small Height (including nursery pot) 30cm; pot diameter 12cm. (Fits a 13-15cm pot)

DID YOU KNOW?

Polly will start to ‘cry’ by releasing droplets of water from her leaves when she has been overwatered. She does this as a way of getting rid of all that extra moisture in her stems.

Polly’s striking and bright veins will draw you in from the other side of the room.


QUICK ALOCASIA POLLY PLANT CARE

Polly will thrive in medium light with plenty of humidity and filtered water.

LIGHTING

I don’t like bright, direct sunlight. Keep me in a semi-shady spot with plenty of natural light.

WATERING

I don’t like dry or soggy soil. Check my soil every 4-6 days and only water when the first two inches of soil is dry.

HUMIDITY

I love a humid room. Place me in a bathroom or by a humidifier. Find out how you can increase humidity here.

FERTILISER

Use a diluted fertiliser once a month to promote my growth. Avoid fertilising me from the months of October-February as I will be in dormancy.

PET SAFE

No

AIR PURIFYING

Yes

THINGS WE ALWAYS GET ASKED

How do you take care of an Alocasia Polly?

Taking care of Polly can be tricky in the beginning but once she has settled into her new home, her care will be smooth sailing. She prefers indirect sunlight and her leaves can easily burn in any hot direct sunlight. Place her near a window with shutters or blinds for a dappled light. Polly can put up a fuss if watered with tap water. Filtered or rain water is preferred as these types of water carry less chemicals that can be harmful to Polly’s root system. You may notice Polly drop a few leaves when she first arrives in your home. This is perfectly normal and Polly’s own unique way of getting used to her new environment. Avoid moving Polly around your home in the beginning so she has a chance to get used to her environment.

How much sun does an Alocasia Polly need?

The Alocasia Polly needs to be placed in a well lit room. She needs plenty of natural light to survive and should be placed in a spot where she can see a window. An east or west facing room would be ideal as this offers gentle sunlight rather than midday heat.

How big do Alocasia polly’s get?

An Alocasia Polly will push out plenty of new growth and can reach a maximum height of 80cm.

PLANT STYLING TIPS

Polly has very striking foliage and should be styled with plants of a similar shade like Maya, the coffee plant and Monty. The more plants Polly is paired with the higher the humidity will be around the plant. The best spot for Polly is on a high shelf or cabinet away from young children or pets because she is toxic if ingested.

Use the protection crystal and guard crystal to complement Polly’s dark foliage and to keep bad energies away from you and your plants.

A tale beautifully told!
Format: Kindle
That's what this was. Once again, Natalia Jaster spins a magical fable of passion and wonder, dazzling me with her poetic prose. I've been looking forward to discovering this new world ever since the author announced her next series. Needless to say, I do not feel disappointed at all. Jaster's world-building is top notch, and the universe of Dark Fables unfurls before the reader in all its alluring possibilities as the story goes on. Faerie lore in this book nods towards the traditional - Fae cannot lie but their deceitfulness is notwithstanding, Fae are immortal but not invincible, they love riddles, bargains and a good bawdy revel. Yet, there is an original spin to it, and I love how the Fae are portrayed by the author. Horrifically beautiful and just plain horrific, decidedly n o t human, yet not immune to the full range of human emotions and behaviours. Blue-skinned, covered with fur, antlers, wings and horns, they are not barely a mirror image of unusually pretty humans, only immortal. They're Vicious Faeries. And I L-O-V-E it! Then, there are the characters. Both Lark and Cerulean are extremely likeable - more than that, actually! Why do I even limit myself to these lukewarm expressions?! I simply adored them, Lark especially. She captured my heart with her free spirit and boisterous, daring demeanor. Together with Cerelean, they make for an intriguing pair, giving as good as they get. Their cat-and-mouse, human-fae, enemies-to-lovers dance makes for a deliciously captivating story. Their love story has all the enemies-to-lovers goodness one can hope for, with a sparkly red cherry on top that is a mates trope done well. Personally, I've gone from loving to dreading the mates trope in recent years, but I'm still partial to it, if it's executed in a certain way. And I truly loved it here, because it leaned towards reinforcing the idea of choice being the driving factor in love and relationships, rather than fate. Yes, it was still magic, and involved serendipity and mythical bonds, but it made for a background to characters' actions and choices without overpowering them. Lark's and Cerulean's battle of wills and hearts will wreak havoc on your feels, but it will do it while transporting you to a beautiful and treacherous world of Faerie. The wordy descriptions, alliterations and old tales paint a vivid picture of this universe, and I, for one, loved immersing myself in this world. Natalia Jaster has this peculiar writing style - a blend of poetry with profanities, fancy old-time expressions fused with explicit ones. It has its own tempo, might be hard to follow sometimes, but it's so original and never ceases to amaze me. It also makes me greedy. Just finished reading and I already feel this bookworm's itch to get my next fix, which is the upcoming book in this series. I cannot wait to read Juniper and Puck's story, as well as Cove and Elixir's. More than that, and I truly hope I'm not mistaken, I think what Jaster is setting up here is a part of a bigger universe. So yes, I want to get to know The Solitary Forest and The Solitary Deep. But Middle Country, the home to Vicious Faeries, is only 1/3 of the Dark Fables. So please give me The Northern Frosts and The Southern Seas as well. Elves, dragons and all the magic in between. As for "Kiss the Fae" - what more can I say? This one gets a strong merry 4.5 stars from me. If you're a fantasy lover, I can only urge you to join Lark on her journey, to cross the border beyond The Triad into the Faerie, and walk along her through all the terrible marvels of that land. "Don’t look down. Watch your step. (...) Lose your path. Find your way." (P.S. As in, your way straight into the *online* store to buy this book!) *ARC received from the author in exchange for an honest review*

A lush, lyrical, and sensual read!
Format: Kindle
FABLES ETERNAL!!! What a viciously lush, mischievous, and sensual read! Just like that, and Natalia Jaster has ensnared me in warm windy knots, enchanting my heart all over again. Since I'm already a fan of her writing, as well as the chimerical way she weaves her fantasy romances in delicious paradox and wordplay, I couldn't wait to soar into this fable. I was looking forward to being entwined in elegant tricks, to being swept up in colorful prose and world-building as well as in verbal sparring that would leave my head spinning with seductive pink hearts. And I have to say, I wasn't at all disappointed. If anything, this story left me floating on air. It tantalized me like the sharp, ticklish, sonorous whips of a summer breeze against my skin. It enveloped me in stunning lyricism and nature's mossy, woefully under-appreciated, arms. I couldn't devour it sooner. Couldn't breathe it in fast enough. I have a partiality for sparkling tales already, for magical worlds and characters that are woven through with arresting detail, passion, wonder--so imagine my delight to be able to settle into this wicked whimsical fairytale with Lark and Cerulean. They are everything wild, everything dazzling - oh, so succulent and fresh in repartee - that you want them to be! I promise you their enemies-to-lovers-to-mates journey is full of all the juicy "loss and longing" stuff that'll jolt you straight into the sky. It'll tack you up there like a star where you can shine down with bewitched admiration and greed. As mortal and faerie respectively, Lark and Cerulean are poised as enemies from the moment she crosses the threshold into Faerie. She's a bawdy mouthy human with a flair for stubbornness, for whips, who just so happens to have a fierce protectiveness of animals in addition to her loved ones. He's a wicked Fae ruler with blue-tinted skin and pointy ears whose words lance, not just drip, with elegant machinations. While Lark's desperate to win this dangerous game she's fallen into with him and reach the mountaintop, bringing her one step closer to rescuing her sisters, whom she loves dearly, Ceruleans's determined to thwart her with riddles and fatal bargains at every turn, with him on his own quest to restore the fauna that were lost during the Trapping (aka a war-of-sorts). What transpires between them is tons of wrangling "one up me, if you dare" fun. Seriously, it's impossible not to get swept up in the thrilling "lark" of it all. And their romance? Well, it's nothing short of feathered serendipity. It's an elaborate dance circling around the edge of chosen circumstance plus desire on top of fate. Whenever Lark and Cerulean are together, sparks fly. They just do. The lustful volleying back-and-forth is what keeps you on the hook. The even teeter between them, though, that's the element which kicks up the intrigue another notch. Heightens the passion between them, the intensity. After all, who doesn't it love it when two diametrically opposed beings (one magical, the other not) end up being well-matched in love AND war? I mean, hubba hubba! Can somebody procure me a leafy fan, please? I'm swoooooning! Their dynamic interplay also explodes into fireworks over and over throughout the story, piercing you with feeling so pointed yet so potent that it lands with the precision of a javelin's tip. Half the time it sneaks up on you. Unraveling expectation. Digging in deeper to reveal hidden meaning or themes. Then, before you know it, before you realize what's happening, you're spirited away with the characters. You're caught up in the majestic audacity of who Lark and Cerulean are, where they're from, and how they've come to fall in love with one another despite it being strictly forbidden. Point blank: it's an incredibly sexy, lyrical, action-packed ride from start to finish! Never has nature felt more provocative, either. I don't know how Jaster accomplished such a feat, but somehow she made wind into the most toe-curlingly erotic element on the planet?? (Like, who needs/wants fingers when there's wind around to compete? 🤣 ) I'm unabashed to say she's likely created a new kink for fantasy romance readers everywhere. So listen to me now, y'all. Hear me when I say "follow the wind." Chase it. Trail after where it blows against your computer keys...or out the door toward the bookstore, the library, or wherever it is you prefer to procure material for reading...because you need to pick up a copy of this immediately. I mean it. Consider it a mandate. *screams in every color of the wind until you heed me* I'm telling you now: there ain't nothing better than this glowing debut into a universe of Vicious Faeries!

Enjoyed it but very wordy
Format: Kindle
I did enjoy the book very much, but about 30% through I caught myself starting to skim( and I am not a speed or skim reading, I enjoying absorbing all the words) but the way this author wrote this book was very, very wordy.. I would say she was going for like poetic and I would say she accomplished that It's just not the kind of reading I enjoy.. I mean I do like a good book and I love good description but when it takes two pages to describe a plain of land.. I start to get a little bored.. I did enjoy the characters tho! Very much! I won't be continuing this area just because I assume the other three books, are also rittenberg like a whimsical like this, that being said it's not a bad thing, This is not the type of reading I like to get into very often! But that being said that is a me issue and it was a well written and good book!

Fabulous Fae Fantasy Adventure Romance ala the Labyrinth
I LOVED this book. You can blame it on Jareth the Goblin King, and years of watching the Labyrinth over and over...or you can blame it on the extremely talented writer, Natalia Jaster, who totally blew me away with this ferocious frolic through my favorite daydreams. I'm an earthy, woodsy, nature and animal loving girl so this really was the stuff my dreamscapes are made of... Where to start? Obviously I'm a huge fan of the premise: Lark, a saucy, fiery, vibrant human girl must escape the clutches of her bad lay (yes you read that right) by crossing the threshold into Faerie - a scary and dark place where humans never return from, (or if they do they return without their minds). Along with her two sisters who followed her in, they must now face the consequences of their intrusion. Each must face a trial in one of the three Solitary Fae wildnerness areas, Lark landing on the Solitary Mountain where she must combat its ruler, the mysterious flute playing, javelin wielding Cerulean. Her challenge: to scale its labyrinthine peaks and valleys, and all its magical pockets in-between and make her way to the highest summit within 13 days. Of course nothing is as it seems in Faerie and its a much harder task than it might at first appear. A sort of mountainous maze with enchanted groves and deceiving vistas and all sorts of tricky fae and fauna? Yes Please! I'm going to word geek out for a moment now: Jaster really created a wonderful cadence to her story with her use of sentence structure and word choice. There's almost a manic brilliance to some of it that FEELS just like being in that world would feel like: beautiful and terrifying, something your not sure you if want to run TO or run FROM, its carnal and cathartic, its a tangle and a finely honed tip, its all and nothing. Yes descriptions are meant to "show" us, but in this case - the juxtaposition of word choice, the dreamy AND the visceral, the sheer shapes of the words - really BROUGHT me there. Her descriptions could range from beautiful and ethereal to crass or destructive in one scope - just like the sharp edge of those fae teeth hiding behind their otherworldly beauty. Its all one here: "It's a hopeless, grisly display, shimmering at the edges with sparks of magic. So many faces and souls - gorgeous to the point of hellish, frightful to the point of ethereal." So yes I loved the plot, yes I loved the words, and yes I most definitely loved the dance between Lark and Cerulean. She does a great job of building the tension but also the confusion and conflicting emotions of both characters, and though in a sense it is a slow burn, when the heat does come its packed on ferociously in the best way possible: no holds barred. My oh my I loved it! And now I will leave you with possibly my favorite description of a redhead ever (and describing one of the characters the next book will focus on, definitely excited for Puck and Junipers story): "The reddest hair I've ever seen tumbles in waves from his head and sweeps his shoulders. I can't describe the vivid, inflammatory color, except that its warmer than rust, livelier than titan, and more provocative than scarlet. It's the erotic shade of carmine, or, if you're feeling morbid, the shit that pours from a fresh wound."

Kiss the Fae
Format: Kindle
I have to be honest, I have spent the last 24 hours going back and forth between three and four stars. Ultimately, I enjoyed the story and I think that is all that counts. So, 4 stars it is! What I loved, Labyrinth is my favorite movie of ALL TIME! Growing up I dreamed about marrying David Bowie and thought Jareth was the sexiest man of all time. So, I was tickled to read a story loosely based on the movie. And it did not disappoint! Natalia Jaster did such a good job following along with the story while making it completely her own. I try not to give spoilers in my reviews—but—let’s just say I loved Cerulean, BUT I AM SOOOOO EXCITED ABOUT HIS BROTHERS STORIES! Now the not so popular opinions . . . What bugged the ever lovin’ crap out of me . . . and I say this with all the love and respect in the world for the author and all the hard work that went into this book—but girl!!! There were SO many times where unnecessary synonyms were used to the point it would almost make the sentence not make sense. I wanted to shake my kindle and ask to be a Beta reader so I could help avoid this. It does not make you look like a bad writer to use simple words when simple words feel right to the flow of the story. End of tangent. The other thing that was not my jam was the verb tense. I am not a huge fan of present tense, but that is on me and did not take away from my rating or the enjoyment of the story. Just a thing that would randomly catch me off guard and pull me out of the story. Lastly, there are a few times (especially in the beginning) where our MC Lark is awkwardly slutty; to the point it feels forced. You can have a promiscuous character without making her talk about sex randomly in the middle of a conversation. But be warned, this book brings the smut! It is New Adult/Adult NOT YA! Overall, I enjoyed it and very much look forward to the next book that comes out in April!
