A striking, fashion-forward houseplant known for its dramatic contrast and iconic spotted leaves. Begonia maculata features long, wing-shaped foliage embellished with crisp white polka dots on the top and rich red tones on the underside. Its bold, graphic look adds instant visual interest to any room, whether styled on a shelf, plant stand, or as a statement piece in bright indirect light.
This cane-type begonia grows upright and produces delicate clusters of white flowers when happy. Despite its exotic appearance, it’s manageable with consistent care and a stable environment.
Care Requirements
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain strong leaf color and spotting.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil dries out. Keep the soil lightly moist but avoid waterlogging.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity for best growth.
• Growth Habit: Upright stems with elongated polka-dotted leaves and occasional clusters of white flowers.
Pet Safety
Begonias are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep away from cats and dogs.
