Hypoestes (Polka Dot Plant)

The polka dot plant is an eye-catching little plant with brightly spotted leaves that stand out against most other foliage. The most common polka dot plant on the market features leaves with a pink base color and green spots. But there are several other varieties available that are spotted or mottled with purple, white, red, and more. Polka dot plants are not especially difficult to grow and can be grown in containers and as houseplants. They're best planted in the spring, they have a moderate growth rate, and they remain relatively small once they're mature, especially when grown indoors.
