Polka Dot Plant question: I repotted this plant a few weeks ago from its 2” nursery pot to this ceramic one. I’ve kept it watered according to the schedule and have read it needs low light to keep its variegation. But it seems to be struggling with losing/wilting leaves, etc and I’m not sure why. Any suggestions??
Mine loves a lot of light!
いいね 1件 Mine also likes a lot of water. Your soil mix looks too chunky. Mines in regular potting mix in a self watering pot and even then it sometimes needs water before scheduled this summer. Mines outside in high humidity and gets a lot of direct sunlight. ☺️

Hypoestes need sunlight direct/indirect to keep variegation. Keep higher humidity and warmer temps. They love that tropical feel. As far as wilting leaves watch the water.

The variegation looks really good on it!
