Stunning spotted leaves

Polka Dot Begonia (Begonia maculata) is one of the most beautiful and sought-after houseplants! It features asymmetrical, angel-wing-shaped leaves with silver-white spots on a dark green background, and a dramatic burgundy-red underside. It also produces delicate white or light pink blooms. An extremely Instagrammable plant that has become a global hit in recent years!

🌱 Growing Conditions

Light: Bright indirect light - near a north or east-facing window. No direct sun!
Watering: Moderate - allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. Do not overwater!
Temperature: 18-24°C is ideal. Not below 15°C.
Humidity: Loves high humidity! A pebble tray or humidifier helps.
Soil: Light and well-draining - general potting mix with perlite.
Fertilizer: Balanced diluted fertilizer once a month in spring-summer.
Pruning: Trim tops to encourage branching and a fuller plant.
Pot: Do not move to a pot that is too large - it likes being a bit snug.

Common Problems & Solutions

Falling leaves: Temperature fluctuations, change of location, or irregular watering.
Brown edges: Air is too dry! Increase humidity around the plant.
Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Leggy stems: Lack of light. Move closer to a window or trim to encourage dense growth.
Spots on leaves: Water on leaves or fungal issues. Water only the soil.
No flowering: Not enough light or the plant is still young. Patience!
Powdery mildew: Improve ventilation and reduce humidity on the foliage.
Spider mites: Occur in dry air. Increase humidity and wash leaves.

Pro Tip

The secret to a full, dense plant? Trim the tops regularly! This encourages branching and prevents the plant from becoming "leggy" and sparse. More prominent spots? Bright (but indirect!) light highlights the silver spots. Humidity without mildew: Use a pebble tray rather than spraying the leaves directly. Rotation: Rotate the pot every week so the plant grows straight and doesn't lean toward the light. Recommended for elevated spots: Due to the sensitivity of the leaves, it's best to place it in a high spot or on a shelf.
