FAQ - 💬

❓ Is Hypoestes a good indoor plant?

👉 These colorful plants make for a lovely addition to an indoor garden. Colorful Hypoestes phyllostachya—also known as the polka dot plant—is a petite, low-maintenance houseplant that adds a bright burst of color to shaded container gardens and indoor pots.

❓ How do you care for a Hypoestes polka dot?

👉 Bright, indirect light is ideal for Hypoestes care - this will keep the colours vibrant! Too much light and the colour will fade, too little and they'll disappear altogether. Temperatures of around 18-20C are ideal. The polka dot plant prefers constantly moist but not soggy soil.

❓ How big does a polka dot Hypoestes get?

❓ Does a polka dot plant need a lot of sun?

👉 Grow polka dot plant in a bright or medium-light spot. It can tolerate bright spots indoors and doesn't mind a little direct sun on its foliage. Polka dot plant tolerates low light fairly well, too, but we don't recommend growing it in low-light spots for extended periods because it can grow tall and lanky.

❓ How long does a polka dot plant live?

👉 How long do polka dot plants live? The life cycle of the polka dot plant is typically completed within one year. However, if grown indoors, you may extend its life span by pinching off the flowers as they appear.

❓ Do polka dot plants like small pots?

👉 Polka dots plants are usually found in 4" and 6" pots. They have a very small root system and very rarely need a container larger than 6".

❓ How long can a polka dot plant live?

👉 Unfortunately, polka dot plant is not long-lived, even as a houseplant. It has a lifespan of about two years. After blooming, it will quickly deteriorate and there's not much you can do to stop it. This is just the nature of this plant.

❓ Should I let my polka dot plant flower?

👉 Polka dot plant flowers, 6-inch spikes of inconspicuous pink to purple blooms, generally appear in late summer or autumn after the days begin to shorten. However, this plant tends to “go to seed” after flowering—both literally and figuratively—so it's a good idea to keep pinching those buds off.

❓ Should I repot my polka dot plant?

👉 You do not need any special knowledge to repot a polka dot plant. Like most houseplants, they need repotting every one or two years to avoid becoming pot-bound. The best time to repot is in the early spring before its growing period.

❓ How long will my polka dot plant live?

❓ How do I make my polka dot bushy?

👉 To promote a bushier growth habit, cut or pinch back the top two leaves on each stem weekly. Actively trimming can help the plant to grow healthier and more vigorously. Although flowers sound nice, it's best to clip them when they start appearing to extend the growing season of your polka dot plant.

👉 Hypoestes has few pest problems, but is susceptible to powdery mildew and root rot, and may become infested with whiteflies, aphids, and mealybugs. Polka dot plant offers interesting foliage. Polka dot plants will get leggy as they age, particularly in lower than ideal light.

👉 The Latin specific epithet phyllostachya means “with a leaf spike”. The polka dot plant is a lively and beautiful little plant with brightly spotted leaves that stand out especially well against other plants.

👉 By regular pruning and pinching back you can control Polka dot size, but it will also make the plant more compact and showy. It will also prevent the plant getting too leggy and will encourage a more bushy form. Hypoestes likes water and moist soil. Keep the soil moist, but don’t let your plant sits in its water.
