Looks like a polka dot to me

thank you! how should i care for it the best?

#### ArchNouveau replied on 2024-10-23

I’m probably the wrong person to ask because I killed my last one, lol. I think it needs a pretty good amount of light and it’s super picky about getting too much or too little water. Mine didn’t have enough light, and I was probably overwatering.

It’s a polka dot plant

Here’s my polka dot plant I had to repot it twice already (he’s 1ft and 1/2)

#### Cam and Hailey replied on 2024-10-23

him\*\*

I am really bad at having a schedule so I water him when he and his cousin I think a pink polka dot plant are dry

Add it to the Planta app to get some guidelines. I think it works out to be watered when pot is about half dry. And bright light, no direct sun. And of course the usual well draining soil. I think that description is for almost every tropical plant.

I have two in same pot. Different colors. I trim it back to make it more bushy.

They are super dramatic plants (mine is anyways) and she will get very droopy when she needs more water! She’ll perk right back up after she gets what she needs lol
