Splash / Polka Dot Plant Care
Place your Polka Dot Plant in bright, indirect light.
- Light
- Bright, indirect light; the more light it receives the more vibrant and pronounced its colorful spots will be. Avoid direct sunlight as it will scorch the delicate leaves.
- Water
- Water every 1–2 weeks, keeping the soil consistently moist but never soggy.
- Humidity
- Polka Dot Plants love humidity — mist the leaves regularly or place near a humidifier to keep them looking their best.
- Maintenance
- Pinch back the tips regularly to encourage a full, bushy shape and prevent the plant from becoming leggy. If the plant begins to flower, pinch the blooms off to redirect energy back into the colorful foliage.
