This cute little plant is an excellent choice for your home or terrarium. The White Polka Dot Plant is not very difficult to grow and provides eye-catching foliage that is sure to stand out against your other plants. It has a distinct variegated coloring, consisting of white and dark green mottling. White Polka Dot plants thrive in high humidity, warm temperatures, and indirect light. As terrarium specimens they can provide a splash of color and texture. 

Best Locations For Growing White Polka Dot Plant

Grow this plant in a location where it will receive plenty of filtered sunlight and humidity, for example, a bathroom window next to the shower. The White Polka Dot Plant will be happy anywhere near an east-facing window, or a few feet away from a south window. 

White Polka Dot Plant Sunlight Requirements

Polka Dot Plants prefer bright filtered sunlight. Two or three feet away from a south-facing window or near an east-facing window is ideal. If planted in a terrarium, ensure that the terrarium is receiving partial sunlight. 

White Polka Dot Plant Care

These plants require higher humidity, somewhere around 50%. If you need to raise the humidity in your home, consider misting the plant or placing it on a humidity tray. Polka Dot plants can bloom during the summer months and have tiny purple flowers on long spikes. Make sure to fertilize this plant throughout the growing season, spring to fall. Provide this plant with an all-purpose organic potting mix with good drainage. 

Watering White Polka Dot Plant

The Polka Dot Plant likes to have soil that is evenly moist at all times. Water the plant when the top half-inch of soil has dried out. Avoid letting the soil completely dry out since it will cause wilting. If it ever gets severely wilted, sometimes it’ll perk right back up with a good soak. 

Feeding White Polka Dot Plant 

These plants are heavy feeders. Fertilize regularly (about every two weeks) during the growing season, April through September. Apply a balanced, all-purpose houseplant fertilizer.
