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.
