Lotty Dotty (Hypoestes)

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, allowing the top 1/2-inch to dry out between waterings. If the plant goes too dry, it will wilt quickly, but generally recovers.

  • Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant pink color, but can tolerate partial shade. Too little light causes it to become leggy, while direct, harsh sun can burn the leaves.

  • Yes Pet Safe, Listed as non-toxic by the ASPCA

  • Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer.

  • Thrives in moderate to high humidity (50%+); ideal for bathrooms or on a pebble tray
