I was running a few errands today, and found this pretty little polka dot plant while at the grocery store. Should I have left it on the shelf? Probably. But she sure is pretty… 😍 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #RescuePlants #SupermarketPlants #PolkaDotPlant #Hypoestes #PlantLove #GregGang #theamigos #LaSiguanaba

4” pot with drainage

She's adorable! ❀️
@LadySugarvine Thank you!
She’s very sweet; definitely not meant for grocery store. You did the right thing. 😜😘
Ooh she's so PRETTY! 😍 I'm going to have to get one, what beautiful colours she is Rose! (& I love the name! Haha πŸ˜‚) Xx
Oh they are so very cute!! If I had it to do over, definitely in a self watering pot. They are worst than peace lily for water.. but they are just so dang gorgeous 😍πŸ”₯!! Put him beside your CP’s for sure..
@LaSiguanaba Frogger 🐸 That’s a game name! That color is almost hypnotic and is a great color. Polka Dot Plants can be so pretty 🀩 😍 lovely photo πŸ‘πŸ˜€
@LaSiguanaba If only we could run past the plants when running errands 🀨 But what’s a girl to do πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ I love that little cutie and would have done the same . Well worth slowing down for .
What striking colors!
@JenniB81 Thanks!!! as for the name, well it’s green with red splatters… πŸ˜‚ Frogger seemed to suit! 🀣
@HisLobster Thank you! I’m really happy with her. ☺️
Thanks @CourtlyKingfern ! Are polka dot plants very thirsty? It’s been a while since I’ve had one…
@Seymour I love how vivid the colors are! It’s a very attractive plant. 😍
@ILoveMyPlants It’s so hard to resist a good grocery store rescue plant, especially when they as pretty as this one! 😍
@SFplantlover Thanks! I really love the colorsβ€”they are very striking.
@LaSiguanaba @CourtlyKingfern Oh, yes. Similar to fittonias. And the smaller they are, I swear the faster they dry out. Beautiful little buggers, though. Once I get the group that’s in my quarantine room right now out of there, I might have to find one of these for myself. I’ll name it Pac-Man or Q-Bert or something so yours and mine can be planty pen pals, or do whatever it is that plants do to communicate. πŸ€ͺ😘
She’s beautiful! I nearly bought one myself the other day but I’ve killed 3 of them already. Its fate is ill fated with me. I wish the exact opposite for your sweet lil angel!
I do the same, she's lovely! πŸ’•
@HisLobster Fun! Now I want to get more polka dot plants to name after video games!
@MissAnn Thanks!
@SteffyHazPlants Thanks! I love the colors! 😍
So pretty! I’m having a hell of a time with mine so I don’t have any tips but it looks great
I have one that came in a 2 inch pot and it’s making babies all over the place, but I have a grow light on mine
So I went to Lowe’s and found one on the deathbed special so I brought her home and added her to my watering spreadsheet. I think the last couple I had drowned. lol. I figured it couldn’t hurt since she was already halfway gone…
@JackHenrysMom Yeah, I have a nerve plant that was a little fussy about water at first, so hopefully that’s prepared me for taking care of this guy. ☺️
@PrimeCanadalily Yes, I’m keeping mine under a grow light as well…
@MissAnn reading β€˜deathbed special’ cracked me up πŸ˜‚, but I know exactly what you mean! Lowe’s is good for finding those!
@LaSiguanaba 🀣🀣🀣
She is beautiful. I am with some of the others, I've killed 2 before I found Greg so maybe I'll try again. Good luck with yours.
@SlinkyAmurmaple Thanks! I have some experience with finicky plants, so hopefully I can keep this beauty alive.
