Anyone know why my polka dot plants are growing but don’t have any of the pink color left? They look good minus the color being gone :(

Loss of color is a lighting issue. Direct sunlight or insufficient light can cause fading per google. Provide bright indirect light.

Several leaves are yellow and dying since they are still in the nursery grow pots. They probably need repotting. The root system needs room to support the growing plant.

Omg thank you! That’s super helpful. Im gonna work on repotting them!

Prune them every week so they don’t get leggy and you can use the cuttings to propagate!
