Add a pop of pink to a bright shelf with Pink Splash Polka Dot Plant (Hypoestes phyllostachya). Its small, soft-looking oval leaves show irregular pink splashes against green; some leaves may be more pink than others. Pinching the growing tips helps keep this colorful plant compact and bushy.

Points of interest and size

  • One live Pink Splash plant in a 3.5-inch nursery grow pot.
  • Estimated mature indoor size: roughly 12–18 inches tall and wide if allowed to grow; pinching can maintain a smaller shape.
  • Leaf pattern, color intensity and fullness vary naturally.

What you receive

One live Hypoestes Pink Splash in a 3.5-inch nursery grow pot. Each plant differs in leaf pattern, coloring and fullness; photos illustrate the variety rather than the exact plant shipped. Decorative planters are not included.

Optional decorative planters

Style your plant with the black BASEL 4.7-inch planter or the white BASEL 4.7-inch planter. Decorative planters are sold separately and are not included with the plant.

Care guide

  • Light: Bright indirect or filtered light helps maintain pink markings. Protect from harsh direct afternoon sun; very low light can dull the color and stretch stems.
  • Water: Check soil often and water when the top layer begins to dry, allowing excess to drain. Keep evenly lightly moist during active growth rather than soggy or repeatedly bone dry.
  • Soil: Use a loose, well-draining indoor potting mix with perlite in a pot with drainage holes. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately.
  • Humidity and temperature: Moderate household humidity suits the foliage; protect from very dry air. Keep warm, away from cold drafts and heating vents.
  • Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, use a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Ready to feed? Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents for steady nutrition for potted houseplants, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
  • Pruning: Pinch off growing tips just above a leaf pair to encourage branching; trim leggy stems and remove faded leaves with clean scissors. Flower spikes can be removed if you prefer the energy to go to foliage.
  • Repotting: Check roots each spring. If crowded, move up one pot size into fresh draining mix at the original planting depth.
  • Propagation: Take a healthy stem-tip cutting with at least one node; remove lower leaves and root the node in water or moist, airy mix in warm bright indirect light.
