Polka Dot Begonia Houseplant

Brighten your indoor spaces with the striking Polka Dot Begonia, officially known as Begonia maculata. Famous for its whimsical foliage adorned with silver polka dots against a dark green backdrop, this houseplant adds a playful yet elegant touch to any decor. With its tall, arching stems and vibrant leaves, the Polka Dot Begonia is perfect for enthusiasts looking to inject some botanical flair into their home.

Size Options:

• 4-Inch Pot: Ideal for smaller spaces or as a starter plant, perfect on office desks, bookshelves, or small tables.
• 6-Inch Pot: Offers a fuller, more dramatic display, suitable for prominent placement in living rooms, bedrooms, or as a focal point in entryways.

Key Features:

• Eye-Catching Foliage: The contrast of silver spots on dark green leaves not only makes this plant stand out, but also captivates and draws attention, making it a stunning decorative element.
• Upright Growth Habit: This begonia grows vertically, which makes it an excellent choice for areas with limited horizontal space.
• Moderate Care Needs: While it requires a bit more attention than some other houseplants, its care routine is straightforward, rewarding even novice gardeners with lush growth.
• Toxic to Pets: This plant is toxic to pets if chewed on or swallowed.

Care Tips:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct light can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause leggy growth.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid letting the plant sit in water as Begonias are susceptible to root rot.
• Humidity: Prefers higher humidity environments. Regular misting, a pebble tray, or a nearby humidifier can help meet its humidity needs.
• Temperature: Best kept in temperatures between 65°F and 75°F. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
