My daughter had two and they looked exactly like that they didn’t recover I’ve had trouble with those plant’s too I can’t get them to stay alive ☹️

agreed! mine prefers the term “communicative” though.
i had a plant sitter kill one on me once, and to this day i wonder if she was just playing dead to be dramatic and my plant-sitter believed her!

My peace lily used to do this when she was new here. Now it just gets brown-tipped leaves all the time and I’m not fretting.

I got sick of mine and planted them in the garden right before a 100°F heatwave. They survived for two weeks and then died. Fuck you you etiolating bastards

They like moist soil. I had one and it got huge. Just make sure you keep it trimmed enough to not flower. Once it flowers it can die

I killed one of these polka dot plants. It went dramatic on me a few times when it was time to water, and I quickly found that when they wilt, if you do not water promptly, they will indeed call your bluff and peace out 😂

Yeah I’ve regrettably unalienable a couple of polka dot plants because I didn’t realize how much humidity they liked. I’ve read some where to keep their plant on top of a be of pebbles with h20 to provide humidity

I got mine from a grocery store, potted a green and a red together in a hanging basket inside an east facing window and shes my most thriving new plant so far this year. She’s loving the morning light.
