Flaunting teeny weeny, itsy-bitsy, white polka dotted greenery, this beautiful Begonia is the leaf-envy of horticultural society. Showing off her spots, the Begonia Maculata contrasts white with rich, green, delicate foliage against a raspberry backdrop.
Will unintentionally draw attention and not apologise for it.
Begonia Maculata Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Soft, Soggy Spotting? This plant likes to be warm and damp, however If you notice the leaves slowly turning soggy and limp, it is getting too much water.
Over or Under! Overwatering can be just as damaging as underwatering. Make sure to water before the soil dries out completely.
Tan O’clock! If leaves start turning brown, your Begonia is getting too much sun, move to a more shaded location as soon as you notice discolouration.
Light
The Begonia Maculata thrives in bright, indirect light. Try to keep it out of direct sunlight and shade, as the former will scorch the leaves and too much of the latter will cause the plant to wilt.
Watering
Water your Polka Dot Begonia weekly, keeping the soil moist at all times. Do not overwater, as waterlogged roots are prone to rot. Watering little and often is a good approach.
Temperature
Needs to be kept warm, ideally between 18°C and 30°C. The Maculata does not like cold temperatures: anything below 15°C. Avoid rapid temperature changes and placing near windows and radiators.
Humidity
Needs an environment with above average humidity. Mist frequently or relocate to the kitchen or bathroom for a while to give it an occasional boost if required.
Feed
Apply fertiliser twice a month (every two weeks) during the growing season to encourage flowering.
