The Polka Dot Begonia (Begonia maculata) is a stunning plant that captivates with its unique foliage. This begonia variety features large, asymmetrical leaves adorned with striking silver-white polka dots on a dark green background. The elongated leaves have a textured surface, giving them an exquisite, almost quilted appearance. With its eye-catching pattern and lush foliage, this plant has become a popular choice among houseplant enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The Polka Dot Begonia thrives in bright, indirect light. Be cautious of exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Maintaining a temperature range between 60°F and 75°F is recommended, as the Polka Dot Begonia prefers a moderately warm environment. It also appreciates a humid atmosphere, so misting the leaves regularly or placing a tray of water nearby can help create the desired humidity levels.
When it comes to watering, it's important to strike a balance. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings, but avoid letting the plant become completely parched. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has proper drainage.
With attentive care, your Polka Dot Begonia will flourish and continue to delight with its stunning foliage for years to come.
Your Polka Dot Begonia will arrive in a six-inch nursery pot.
