Characteristics

Polka dot plants, also known as Hypoestes phyllostachya, are known for their vibrant foliage. These cheerful houseplants come in a variety of colors, with spots of pink, red, white, or even light green contrasting against dark green leaves. They typically grow as a bushy plant with oval-shaped, fuzzy leaves.

How to Care for Polka Dot Plants

  • Light: Thrives in bright indirect light and cannot tolerate direct light.
  • Water Preferences: Allow the soil to dry out slightly in between watering. Water approximately every 7-10 days depending on what kind of light the plant receives.
  • Special Care/Notes: Prefers loose, well-draining soil that can hold moisture well. Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes rootbound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current pot.

"Although matching colors were sold out staff assisted with the search to match what a cabbage looper devoured."

"Favorite place to buy trees and shrubs and they have a cute indoor retail gift shop! I usually buy gift cards here for teacher appreciation gifts."

"This local nursery is great! Lots of events and seasonal promotions, even cool decor and nick-nacks. I even got a few cut tops there! It's a great shop with great service. They also have a rewards program."

"One of my favorite places to get plants! The people there are always friendly and helpful. They are pet friendly, so I always bring my dog. She can be a bit much to handle in public, so I don’t take her out often. BUT whenever I go to Bath the people there always help me out with her! Every time I go to Bath I leave happier and with a new plant!"
