Notes: - prefer bright indirect light - the more light, the more water it requires - if plant gets too much light leaves may fade - too little light may lead to leafy plants - trimming promotes bushier growth; prune older leaves twice a year - when wilted, watering it should perk it up - let soul dry out completely between waterings - plant is not heavy feeder but needs SOME sustenance:m; extremely dilute fertilizer and mix with water to feed - if you feed too much too quickly, leaves will get crunchy on tips - if you fertilize too much, clip off crunchy leaves - propagate super easily; watch end of video for propagation tips

I went our of the city for 2 weeks and asked a friend to water my plants. He went like every 5 days and water it a bit, everything OK. I came back at night, looked at it and it was fine. I looked at it next morning and bitch was on her deathbed. I swear, all wilted and almost brown!! It gave me such a scare. I was so stunned I did everything, changed the soil, feed it and water it a bit. In 2 days it was back in health. It was just like it was punishing me for leaving 🥲

If you could elaborate and maybe even show how you trim them to make them bushier maybe bc I have one and she’s super leggy, I didn’t realize that could be remedied to make it more bushy. I actually did zero research on this plant and bought it because it was absolutely gorgeous when I passed by and saw it. Now that it’s tall enough to need a 3 foot trellis and I have it indoors that’s a little hard to do and either way I would like it to look a lot busier so I could really use the help and because of my ADHD I hate reading, and I’m a much better visual learner.

I placed mine in a window that gets a lot of afternoon light and it started growing tendrils, and sprouting these cutes little purple flowers. While the pink spots have diminished a lot, i took the flowering as a sign it was happy, but not entirely sure.

It will be best for the plant if you pinch the flowers off, as it takes a lot of energy away from producing and maintaining the leaves. Also, they often die after a flowering cycle. It will be much happier without them! I pinch them off as soon as then start to appear. Hope this helps!

Hi Harli, I'm new to your site, and was researching propagation of Pink Polka Dot plants. I learned a few things from watching your videos, and have decided to subscribe to your site. I enjoyed this lesson very much, and I am now going to cut my mother plant back (as per your instructions) with the hope that I will get some new baby plants. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi Harli, Thank you so much for the video. I am new to house plants and finding your channel very helpful especially since my polka dot plant started wilting today (hopefully she springs back up). You mentioned posting a video on how and when to trim it. My plant is starting to get leggy and would love to see how it is done properly.

Can you do a recent video about them? I am sure that after this whole time you should now have even more experience with them. Just bought a cute mini one and want to make sure that I take care of her properly :)

Thanks for this video! Re propagating, can I stick the clippings back into the same pot to make the base bushier, or should I replant them into a whole new pot. Thank you!
