Polka Dot Plant

Polka Dot, Freckle Face, or Measle Plant can easily be grown indoors during the winter season.  They prefer bright light and let soil dry a bit between watering,  increase watering during the summer season.

They come in Reds, Pinks and white with green.  During the summer season they prefer semi-shaded areas.  Pinch them from time to time so they branch out and won’t grow leggy.   Hypoestes Sanguinolenta is the botanical name,  I like to know who chooses the names?   would anyone remember the botanical name?  I have to LOL!
