Polka Dot Plant does exactly what the name says: green leaves splashed all over with pink, red, and white freckles, a different pattern on every leaf. The COMBO pot mixes the colors in one plant, so you get the whole confetti effect at once.
It is small, fast, and dramatic about water in the most useful way: it faints when thirsty and pops back within hours of a drink, which makes it a weirdly good teacher for new plant owners. A terrarium and fairy-garden staple for a reason.
