White Spotted Leaf Plant Varieties
1. Polka Dot Plant
Botanical Name: Hypoestes phyllostachya
This evergreen shrub, coveted as a houseplant, features deep green foliage heavily spotted with white and sometimes even pink, looking as if it has been spray painted. This small shrub grows in compact, bushy tufts with oval, pointed, opposite leaves.
2. Common Lungwort
Botanical Name: Pulmonaria officinalis
Lungwort plants are known for their unique leaves that catch the eye with their quirky, splashy white spots on a green background, giving them a look like they’ve been lightly dabbed with bleach. Moreover, these leaves have a distinctively rough texture, thanks to a fine, hairy fuzz covering them.
3. Satin Pothos
Botanical Name: Scindapsus pictus
The leaves are, of course, the main attraction of the Satin Pothos, thanks to each one looking like a piece of art. The leaves are dark green, with a velvety background that seems to be painted with silvery white irregular variegations. These silvery-white variegations become more pronounced as the plant matures.
4. Bromeliad
Botanical Name: Billbergia ‘Hallelujah’
One of the most stunning cultivars of Billbergia vittata, the ‘Hallelujah’ has an upright growth habit and beautiful red-green foliage marked all over with white spots to create a Pollock-like effect. Even the flowers of this plant are an unusual color combination of fuchsia, tea green, and aubergine-purple.
5. Silver Squill
Botanical Name: Ledebouria socialis
With teardrop-shaped bulbs generally found entirely above the ground, this evergreen bulbous perennial grows to 6-10 inches in height and showcases long lance-shaped leaves that are purplish-grey with green overlapping spots and purple undersides.
6. Spotted Begonia
Botanical Name: Begonia maculata
This begonia showcases oblong green leaves with silvery white spots and reddish purple undersides. It also produces white flowers with yellow centers that grow in clusters from a single stem.
7. Gold Dust Dracaena
Botanical Name: Dracaena surculosa ‘Aurea’
The standout feature of this Dracena variety is definitely its long, lance-shaped leaves. They’re a vibrant green and speckled with creamy white or yellow, just like sprinkles of gold dust, which is actually how the plant got its name.
8. Angel Wings
Botanical Name: Caladium
Angel Wings is the perfect plant to brighten up both indoor spaces and outdoor areas like patios or balconies. Its leaves are shaped like arrowheads and are lively green with a striking red center vein. What really sets it apart is the playful spots of white and pink, that adds an another layer of uniqueness to its appearance.
