    Hypoestes ‘Polka Dot’

    Botanical Name: Hypoestes phyllostachya ‘Polka Dot’

    Common Name(s): Polka Dot Plant, Freckle Face

    The Polka Dot Plant, known for its vibrant pink, red, or white spotted leaves, is native to Madagascar and tropical regions of South Africa and Southeast Asia. This striking, compact plant typically grows up to 12 inches tall indoors, adding a pop of color to shaded areas in homes or offices. Polka Dot Plants are popular for their unique leaf patterns and do well in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate low light, though their coloration may fade slightly.

    Polka Dot Plants prefer moist soil but are prone to root rot, so it’s essential to let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. They are relatively easy to care for, making them a great option for beginners.

    Note: While not considered highly toxic, the Polka Dot Plant can cause mild digestive discomfort if ingested by pets or humans.

    Care Insights & Expert Tips

    Sunlight

    Bright, indirect light: This plant loves plenty of light but avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. A north or east-facing window is ideal.

    Water

    Water weekly: Water 1-2 times per week to keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. Check soil regularly, as the plant wilts if underwatered.

    Temperature

    Warm temperatures: Hypoestes prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) with moderate-to-high humidity.

      1. Prune regularly: To encourage bushier growth and prevent excessively long stems.
      2. Watch for pests: Mealybugs and spider mites can be a problem. Inspect your plant regularly and treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
      3. Fertilize regularly: Feed your Polka Dot plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the spring and summer.
      4. Repot with growth: Repot your Polka Dot plant every year or two in a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
