  • Light Requirement is Full Shade to Partial Shade
  • Height 16-22 Inches
  • Width 8-14 Inches
  • Use as a filler when using in containers
  • Great for growing outdoors or as a houseplant!

For that special something that transports shady combinations from ordinary to unforgettable, look to this Polka Dot Plant, Hippo White. We don’t know why it’s named “Hippo”, since we’ve yet to see a polka-dotted hippo, but it’s every bit as charming as the hippos we’ve met.

This one is all about the foliage, but what foliage! Sporting splashy cream variegation that somehow goes with everything, this Hypoestes phyllostachya adds some fun to shady pots, beds, and borders as an upright filler, and can keep you company indoors in cold winter climates.

Hippo® White Polka Dot Plant Care

This easy-care Hypoestes was made for the shade and likes full- to part-shade locations best. It’s heat-tolerant, so it’s a great option for places with steamy summers. Average soil and moisture needs make it easy to find a spot for this adaptable stunner. If desired, pinch growing tips for fuller growth.

Hippo® White Polka Dot Plant Spacing

Hippo White tops out at 16-22 inches and spreads about 8-14, so a spacing of 6-12 inches apart is recommended.

    Sheer Beauty...

    Posted by Winsome D. Foulkes on May 14, 2022

    Both plants were received extremely well packaged. Not even one leaf was bent, torn or dead. I did exactly as the instructions stated and immediately gave them a deep drink. The leaves within minutes were standing upright and straight and strong. I am so happy that I made this purchase from PLANT ADDICTS...they are healthy plants. and incredibly beautiful. They will be potted as indoor plants and I will be giving one as a gift. Well worth the cost. Highly recommended. This will not be my last purchase. Thank you, PLANT ADDICTS, for always providing me with great, healthy plants.
