Polka dot plants are very easy to germinate, grow quickly, and are fun to watch grow as they develop their iconic polka dots! They can be a little finicky about their light: a couple of common problems with polka dots is leaf curling or leggy growth. If they're getting curling leaves, then it likely means it's either too bright or warm and you will want to move your polka dot plant to a location with less direct sun. If they're starting to grow leggy instead of maintaining that nice bushy growth, that means they're in need of more light.
