Polka dot begonia

The Begonia Maculata showcases stunning green, wing-shaped leaves adorned with playful silver spots, giving it a uniquely eye-catching look. The undersides of the leaves are a deep reddish-purple, adding a rich contrast. This beautiful plant can grow up to 2 feet tall and may even bloom with clusters of delicate white flowers.

Light Instructions for Begonia Maculata

Begonia Maculata thrives in bright, indirect light and can also adapt to bright direct light if managed carefully. While it loves strong sunlight, too much direct exposure can scorch or fade its beautiful silver spots. Placing it by an east- or west-facing window all year round, or a south-facing window during winter, will provide the ideal lighting. If exposed to direct sunlight without a filter, ensure there’s some distance to avoid burning. Adding a sheer curtain can help diffuse intense light, keeping your Begonia healthy and vibrant. Avoid low-light areas, as these can stunt growth.
