Plant Characteristics
The Hypoestes phyllostachya is an herbaceous perennial that typically grows to about 15 cm in height. Its compact size makes it perfect for tabletops, windowsills, or as part of a larger plant arrangement. The leaves are oval-shaped and come in an array of colors including pink, white, and red spots, providing a delightful contrast that can brighten up any room.

Care Instructions
This low-maintenance plant thrives best in bright, indirect sunlight but can also tolerate partial shade. It prefers average to evenly moist soil conditions; however, it is crucial to avoid waterlogging as this can lead to root rot. Regular watering should be done when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Fertilizing with a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks during the growing season will help maintain its vibrant coloration.

Ideal Environment
The Hypoestes Assorted 15cm is well-suited for indoor environments and can adapt to various humidity levels. It is particularly tolerant of urban pollution, making it an excellent choice for city dwellers looking to enhance their living spaces with greenery. Additionally, this plant is pet-friendly, ensuring safety for households with furry companions.

Propagation and Longevity
While typically grown as an annual in colder climates due to its sensitivity to frost, the Polka Dot Plant can be propagated easily through cuttings. With proper care, it can thrive indoors year-round and may even last multiple seasons if kept in optimal conditions.
