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.
