These plants need filtered or dappled sunlight. You would want to place them in a well-lit room with windows, but away from direct light. A sunny window with sheer curtains is also a good idea.

Water Care

Medium Water
Plants with medium or moderate water needs should be watered once or twice a week. They need moist soil throughout the growing season for optimum growth and flowering. Water these plants when the soil is dry to touch.

Fertilizer Care

These plants would appreciate a regular application of fertilizers during the growing season. They aren’t heavy feeders, and feeding at low rates is enough for these low-fertilizer plants to grow well.

Plant Care

The Polka Dot plant is well known for its bright coloured, spotted leaves. To ensure your plant radiates its vibrant colours, its best to place it in a low light area; however, this will cause the stems to stretch in search of light. Make sure to keep the soil moist but not soggy. When repotting, we recommend using our All Purpose soil.

Origin

The Polka Dot plant is native to South Africa, Madagascar, and south east Asia.
