Latin hypoestes phyllostachya
This stunning and easy to care for plant is a great addition to almost any location. Can be grown in pots as a filler, added to flower beds, or grown on its own as a unique and beautiful houseplant. Seeds are quick to germinate and mature plants are easy to care for. Grown for their spotted and colourful foliage, hypoestes can add a glow to any locations. Polka Dot plant is native to South Africa, East Asia and Madagascar where they can become quite large. In our experience they maintain a relatively small stature when in pots. This is a mixed variety.
Growing hypoestes from seed is very easy. They germinate best indoors in a warm soilless mixture. Using a heating mat and covering your tray with plastic to retain moisture will help significantly. It is also recommended that you use artificial lights to prevent stretching at the beginning stages of growth. Once development is well underway Polka Dot plant will do best in semi shade areas. Think bright but indirect for best results. Generally polka dot plant is considered an annual but if you prune regularly and prevent flowering, this can be a longer term houseplant.
