Anyone have any advice for me? She’s placed on my tv stand that gets light and she seems to do good there, but the leaves under the bigger ones keep dying off. I was thinking there isn’t enough lighting but every time I move her to my window the bigger leaves get brown and die off. I know pink polka dots can be dramatic but I didn’t know she’d be this dramatic lol

I’m no help-I’m just waiting on my last to finish dying so I can be rid of it and never buy another one😂🌱😂. They’re dramatic little bee-och-es 😈

How long have you had this plant? Polka dot plants are not a long lived plant. Other than that I've got nothing.

#### Rachel antwortete am 2025-04-22

A little less than a month

Well, I would hope it would live longer than that!

I had a few polka dot plants for years and I believe that’s just their normal growing pattern. As they grow and get longer they can only muster up so much energy so they will kill off the bottoms leaves to have enough energy to make new ones. Just so you know they will get really long and leggy eventually so you’ll need to prune once that happens to keep it nice and bushy looking. They need a lot of water so keep that in mind! But yours looks great so far!
