Hypoestes Rose Splash, also called pink 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.

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.
  • Humidity and temperature: Moderate humidity helps prevent crispy edges. Keep warm and away from cold drafts and drying vents.
  • Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, apply a balanced fertilizer diluted according to its label about monthly; reduce or pause in winter.
  • 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.

Pet safety

Hypoestes is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Keep it out of reach of pets that nibble plants.
