When it comes to plants (and most things), it doesn't get much cuter than those with polkadots.
If you've seen one, you certainly already know the type we'm talking about: It's full of lush green leaves spotted with distinctive pink and white dots, giving it its adorable name. The dots can also come in white, red, or purple, depending on the variety, but they're most famous for their pink shade. It's the perfect plant to give your indoor garden a splash of color—and you can find it at Aldi this month for just $5.

As Better Homes & Gardens previously reported, these plants can grow to 3 feet tall in their natural habitat but tend to stay smaller and more compact when living indoors. Because of this, they thrive in terrariums. (Time for a little DIY project, anyone?)
The Aldi plant comes in a pink pot with a cherry on top, akin to a cute little cupcake. These plants are from Madagascar, which means they're happiest in warm, humid conditions—like a tropical forest. But if you don't have a tropical forest near you, don't worry. You can mimic this environment in your home without needing to do too much.
If the air in your place is dry, plop this plant by a humidifier or place it on a tray filled with water and pebbles. You'll need to keep it indoors and near filtered sunlight instead of direct sunlight. Think of light for this plant like the dappled sunlight it would receive in its natural habitat: Too much can scorch the leaves, but not enough will make it droopy and sad. Keep the soil moist, but don't overwater. To check, just feel the top inch of soil with your finger. If it's dry, give it a sip of water; if it's damp, let it be.
Overall, it's pretty easy to keep them happy and healthy as long as you pay
