☀️FalSol☀️She's very cute. Love the pink 💗! I'd probably say for watering I'd say to not let the soil get too dry, meaning that you water when the soil is about halfway to 3 quarters dry. And if you forget it's okay because fitonias are know to "flop" when they are thirty. However they will bounce back.

Plant in soil that drains easily and do not use a terracotta pot (it loses moisture too fast), warm temps (nothing below 60°), keep evenly moist, only allow soil to dry to about a half an inch, fertilize monthly during the growing season, polka dot plant is typically a short-lived plant (maybe 2 years), bright indirect light, high humidity, and do not allow it to flower. Once it has flowered it is inclined to die. (Science according to KJM: an annuals main job is to produce flower and seed. Once it is done this it's job is over and it dies)
