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.

"I brought my girls here to have a homeschool lesson about botany for their science study! We had one of their employees, Evan, walk us around the center and take us into the greenhouses. I felt like he went above and beyond to help my girls with what they need to know and it was great! My kids had a great time and he knew what he was talking about. Thanks again Evan!"
