These polka dot plants have been testing every ounce of my patience. (Not their fault, I just don’t know what I’m doing). They’re so finicky. Any tips???

I’m with PlantyAnn on this one, they are just divas to which I had no patience with. I chopped mine and propagated to see if it would root and if it does, I’m promptly giving it away! And it’s definitely their fault, haha. They are super finicky.
1 LikePolka dots LOVE to be leggy but will adapt if you chop of half way down their stem so they still have leaves and they will grow new stems. I suggest also rotating them so they can get light from all sides every week so they aren’t just facing one direction 24/7. And the leaves will die usually it’s bottom to top to make room for new growth and when the stems get quite bare at the bottom I like burrying them just a little bit further down with the stems so it doesn’t show too much bare mess but not enough for stem rot. I know people struggle a lot with this plant but I hope this helps!
