Polka Dot Plant
Hypoestes phyllostachya
Description
Showy, heavily spotted foliage that features either deep red or brilliant pink polka dots.
Care Overview
Polka dot plants aren't particularly difficult to grow. They need well drained soil, fairly bright indirect light, and relatively high humidity. Avoid letting the soil dry completely. Pinching back the new growth periodically is ideal, as it will help keep the plant more compact and bushy. The flowers are small and often blend with the foliage. It is better to remove the flowers to promote leaf growth.
