A polka dot plant, also known as Hypoestes phyllostachya, is a striking addition to any household space thanks to its unique speckled leaves. They are also relatively easy to propagate by taking stem cuttings that can be rooted in two ways, in soil or water.
While they are one of the best indoor plants, polka dot plants can also be planted outdoors in warm and partial-shade spots. Getting their location right is always important as hot direct sunlight has the potential to scorch their leaves, so they prefer indirect sunlight or dappled shade.
