[@barbleclaire1420]

Enjoyed your replanting the polka dot plant😊

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Thank you!

[@rufinaseme6173]

Im in PA also. I keep mine in full sun outdoor. Its doing great & blooming now

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

They are an interesting plant to grow. I like the all of the polka dots and growing them in full sun increases the spots!

[@EbonyGirlSpeaks]

Gorgeous plants!

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Thank you!

My favorite plants 🌱 ♥️

[@pearlintheoyster]

Hi have u ever experimented growing in the ground outside. Plants are / were outdoor plants since the beginning of time So i may possibly going to experiment with doing it in my arid desert climate

[@tomthumb9839]

I like those plants. Thanks for the informative video.

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi Tom, Your welcome! I like them too! They are so cute. Thank you for the compliments. Happy Gardening! Carrie

I have one that has gotten too tall before I realized it. what should I do?

[@GisellVe]

how can I make my polka dot bushy? and to grow taller

[@samanthaf6482]

Do these bloom in shade? Or do they need sun for that?

[@MommyMiaDana]

Can you put a link on where to purchase this product? Thank you... Oh I'm in California by the way

[@ddgardner5671]

I grew "Splash Pink" last year and the leaves had very little color other than green. Do you remember what variety yours were? Thanks.

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

I had the splash pink too, if the plants don't get enough light they will not have the colors to them.

[@ddgardner5671]

@@carriesgardeningchannel856 I planted them is a spot that gets about 3 hours of bright sun in summer. I thought that would be enough since they're used as houseplants. I see they also have "Splash Select" and a series called "Confetti". I think I'm going to try those this year. Thanks for responding!

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

You're welcome! 3 hours is not enough sunlight to get the full colors.

[@kayleepaterson2946]

can you replant these while the soil is wet or will that create root rot?

[@halimahrafat7172]

Hi. Thanks for nice video. I have polka dot for 3 months but the leaves starting to change color to green and many of the leaves falling down 😔. I some minutes I’m outside full sun but the leaves get down. I don’t know why and need your suggestion please. Thanks

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi, Your welcome. The plants are wilting they are not used to the sun.

[@AlexxKnows]

What kind of soil dish you use?

[@melodynatividad9542]

What is the soil mix used?

[@aanchalsahni5702]

Its may 18, 2021 (what coincidence !) and I am searching for polka dot plant care

[@19iba]

I thought my polka dot plants will die after I repotted them. They wilted and I transfer my four plants in to one pot and I started using diy banana fertiliser. They revived and started flowering but I’m having problem with propagating from cutting

[@sharonimsong5237]

Can I buy

[@jenniffergeronimo7559]

Hi! Great channel! I bought mine in a nursery store they are so tiny and I find them very cute and it really attracts me with its pink color. Can I transfer them to a bigger pot soon? I feel they are very fragile as of now just enjoying their cute look.

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi, Thank you! You can wait till the plants get larger to transplant them that's fine. I hope that answers you question. Yes, polka dot plants are cute to look at. I have 2 volunteer seedlings that came up in a container with a spider plant in it. One is the red spotted one and the other is the pink spotted one. They are so cute to look at. Happy Gardening! Carrie

[@susiechaos8]

What is the brand of the fertilizer you mixed with the soil? One of my favorite plants!

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi susiechaos8, The fertilizer I used is gardens alive houseplants alive. Nice to meet another polka dot plant fan! Happy Gardening! Carrie

[@shashikiranm9706]

Very informative video, where can we order online the fertilizer you used in the video?

[@elhamkareem2831]

Please , Can I grow polka with closed glass pots?

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

I believe you can grow polka dot plants as terrarium plants.

[@leesahcage3297]

Good video, what size pot did you use? How are they doing now?

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi, Thank you. I think that container is a 12" container. That is an old video, I don't have them anymore. They didn't like where I had put them that year overwinter, they didn't get enough light.

[@EmooleeBodnar]

god these are gorgeous

[@luizito1212]

My plants leaves are curling at the sides basically it just all the leaves curling

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Check the root system for root rot or something eating the roots. How often are you watering?

[@danastone8362]

How often should I water mine? It’s indoors, with no sun...

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi Dana Stone, You will want to water your polka dot plants when the soil feels dry. It's not something you can put on a watering schedule, you'll have to feel the soil and watch the plant. I hope that answers your question. Happy Gardening! Carrie

[@fayea.victorino5616]

Hi! Great channel! I bought mine at a garden center and it was pretty small (about 4" round planter). What I've noticed is that the leaves are continuously falling off and drying out despite regular watering and misting. I'm wondering now if I should have repotted them right away. I noticed that the roots are sticking out at the bottom of the pot. I'm scared to repot it though as it looks fragile. What's your recommendation?

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi faye, Thank you! My first polka dot plants that I ever had where bought in a 3" or 4" container too. Check the plant for spider mites. You may need a magnifying glass, look for webs and tiny little things moving. Do the roots look healthy? I've never had one where the leaves where just falling off but it sound like maybe a root problem or pests. Also did the plant bloom? How big is the plant? It may need a bigger container. These plants are know for roots coming out of the bottom of the container, that is normal but I would still check the roots anyway. Also how much light is the plant receiving? Carrie

[@fayea.victorino5616]

@@carriesgardeningchannel856 Hey Carrie, thanks for the tips. So far, I haven't seen spider mites. The roots seem healthy. It's sitting by a west-facing window sill so it gets direct light in the afternoon. I also mist it once a week and water it once a week as well. 🙂

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi faye, Your welcome. It could be getting too much light. Try moving it once and seeing if that helps. Also did the plant flower? Is the soil feel dry when you are giving the plant water? Carrie

[@fayea.victorino5616]

@@carriesgardeningchannel856, Thanks a lot! I'll try that. 😊

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi faye, Your welcome! Happy Gardening! Carrie

[@michellechapman8738]

I wad told that these are ground covering plants...is that true?

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

In my opinion no they are not ground cover plants.

[@melaniecoleman909]

Can we have a polka dot plant update video, please

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi, Unfortunately I lost the plants over the winter, I tried growing them at a different spot indoors and they didn't like it. An I didn't grow any this year, so I can't do an update video on them. I'm sorry.

[@kathydavid2897]

Can you put them with succulents?

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi Kathy, Most of your succulents need the soil dry so I would say no. I think the polka dot plants will get too dry being in with the succulents. Happy Gardening! Carrie

[@fayemartin9328]

can polka-dot-plant be rooted

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Hi Faye, Yes they can be done by cuttings. Happy Gardening! Carrie

[@fayemartin9328]

Where did you buy that pack?

[@samanthamartinez6535]

How do you propagate a polka dot plant?

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

By seeds and taking stem cuttings. I have videos on my channel for how to start polka dot plant from seed.

[@rufinaseme6173]

You lost the gloves quick! I cant garden with gloves either

[@carriesgardeningchannel856]

Sometimes the gloves get in the way.
