  •  Hypoestes Phyllostachya White Splash, or Splash Select White Polka Dot Plant, a flowering plant species of the Acanthaceae family, is a popular "gift plant" because it has beautiful pointed leaves that remain white with distinctive dark green dots and pink/purple flowers at the nodes.

     Hypoestes White is a fast grower and can reach approximately 12” tall. This is an evergreen shrub.

     Its lavender-colored flowers rise above the nodes, usually in the summer or early fall.
     
  •  If grown outdoors, this plant prefers a partially shady spot. Bright, indirect light is ideal indoors, a perfect spot would be near an east- or south-facing window.

     This plant needs moderate watering about once every 5-7 days. Overwatering can cause root rot. Only water when the top o.5 inch of soil has dried out. Slightly reduce watering in the winter.

     Polka dot plants prefer organically rich soil with good drainage. An all-purpose organic potting mix is typically suitable for these plants. Mix in some pumice or perlite to improve soil drainage.

     This plant thrives in temperatures of 65°F-80°F, which make it suitable for most home and office settings.

     This plant should be fertilized once during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.

    Polka dot plant is considered non-toxic and safe to pets.

    When you purchase online, your plants have to go through lots of stress while traveling so they may need a few days to adjust to their new environment and thrive. If your plant does not perk back up after a few days of care, let us know and we will send replacements free of charge. Remember that we always try our best to accommodate you.
  • It’s advised that you should repot the plant as soon as you get it. After repotting, your new houseplant will most likely struggle with transplant shock. It may appear droopy, faded, or have a slower growth rate than usual during this time. This is completely normal, and it’s also normal for transplant shock to hit especially hard after repotting a brand-new houseplant. To make sure your plant has plenty of time to adjust to its new surroundings, wait a day after potting and water your plant. Make sure any excess water drains completely from the pot afterward. Monitor your soil’s moisture levels daily to start creating a watering routine. To help perk up your new houseplant, we recommend adding a little water-soluble fertilizer, compost, or sugar water to your soil to boost its nutrients and help it grow.
