Polka Dot plant | Hypoestes phyllostachya Care:

Light: Needs bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant leaf color. Too little light leads to leggy growth, while direct sun can scorch leaves.
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. The plant is sensitive to overwatering (can cause root rot) but will show fast, dramatic wilting if it gets too dry.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (above 50%). Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, or on a pebble tray.
Soil & Drainage: Use a rich, free-draining potting mix.
Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring/summer).
Pruning: Regularly pinch back the tips of the stems to encourage a bushy, compact habit and prevent it from becoming sparse.
Propagation: Easy to propagate via stem cuttings placed in water or directly into soil.
