Regular price
Hypoestes Rose Splash, also called polka dot plant, has little green leaves splashed and speckled with rose pink. This young plant adds color to a bright desk or shelf; each plant’s pattern and fullness vary naturally.
Points of interest and size
- One live rooted Rose Splash in a 3.5-inch nursery grow pot.
- A young plant when shipped. With time and care, plants may reach roughly 6–12 inches tall and wide indoors; pinching can keep them compact. Small flowers may appear on mature plants under suitable conditions, but the patterned leaves are the main attraction.
What you receive
One live Rose Splash plant in its 3.5-inch nursery grow pot. Decorative planters and furnishings shown in styled photos are not included.
Optional decorative planters
Pair it with the black BASEL 4.7-inch planter or white BASEL 4.7-inch planter. Decorative planters, including the ivory cover pot shown in existing styled photos, are sold separately and not included with the plant.
Care guide
- Light: Bright indirect light brings out the pink. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun, which may scorch foliage. In low light, pink color and compact growth can fade.
- Water: Keep the mix lightly moist, not soggy. Check regularly and water as the surface begins to dry; let excess water drain and avoid letting the root ball dry completely.
- Soil: Use an airy, moisture-retentive houseplant mix with perlite in a pot with drainage holes. Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately; amend with perlite as needed for aeration.
- Temperature and humidity: Moderate humidity helps prevent crispy edges. Keep warm and away from cold drafts and drying vents.
- Feeding: During active growth, follow fertilizer label directions. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding during winter or inactivity and extreme heat or cold. Avoid feeding stressed or newly repotted plants.
- Pruning: Pinch the growing tips to encourage branching; remove leggy stems and spent flowers with clean scissors.
- Repotting: When roots fill the nursery pot or watering becomes very frequent, move up one pot size in fresh airy mix.
- Propagation: Root healthy stem cuttings with a node in water or lightly moist mix under warm bright indirect light.
