Plant Care Guide for Hypoestes《嫣红蔓》- White
-
Light
Provide bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little can cause them to lose their vibrant color.
-
Soil
Prefer well-draining, lightweight potting soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.0) and should be planted in pots with drainage holes to prevent root rot.
-
Water Requirement
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
-
Temperature
Ideal growing temperatures are between 18℃ to 28℃. Protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Humidity
Polka dot plants enjoy higher humidity levels. Consider misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby, especially in dry environments.
-
Fertilizer
Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
-
Caution
Regularly trim back leggy growth to encourage a fuller appearance and prevent the plant from becoming too tall.
