Care Guide
Pink Polka Dot PlantMadagascar
Plant Care
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Not suited for direct, afternoon sun.
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity.
This is a pet friendly plant!
Hypoestes tends to get leggy if not pruned regularly, but pinching off the tips helps it grow bushier and fuller. This encourages more of the signature colorful leaves!
Sad Plant Signs
Wilting plant, dry potting mix:
Underwatered
Dry, shriveled leaves:
Low humidity, or too much sun
Yellowing leaves, mushy stems, wet potting mix:
Overwatered
