Begonia maculata - Polka Dot Begonia

Begonia maculata

eatures beautiful green and red wing-shaped leaves that are playfully spotted with eye-catching silver dots. The backside of the leaves are a rich, deep, reddish-purple.

Begonia Basic Care: Easy/Medium

• Watering: Keep it balanced—neither soaked nor parched. Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again.
• Light: Prefers bright to moderate indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch those tender leaves.
• Soil/Drainage: Thrives in a peat-based, well-draining soil mix.
• Temperature/Humidity: Loves moderate to high humidity. Average room temperature works but keep it away from frost.

Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
