DESCRIPTION: The Polka Dot Plant is a charming, petite houseplant loved for its highly decorative foliage. The leaves are typically splattered with spots of pink, red, white, or lavender against a green base. While it is often sold as a small tabletop plant, it has a vigorous growth habit and can become quite "leggy" if not regularly maintained.
