Begonia Maculata var. wightii (Polka Dot Begonia)
Begonia Maculata, native to Brazil, is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular begonias. The underside of the leaves is a dark red, while the top side is an olive green with silver spots.
During the flowering season (spring - autumn), Begonia maculata produces white flowers in a cluster on a single stem.
Light: Begonia needs a bright area, but away from strong afternoon sun.
Temperature: 18-22 °C, with humidity over 50%.
Water: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Do not overwater as the Begonia family is particularly susceptible to root rot.
Fertilizer: Recommended 2 or 3 times a month, with a balanced fertilizer for plants.
Substrate: The best soil is a mixture of sand, clay, and loam.
Height with pot included approx. 25 cm
Note: Begonia leaves are sensitive to transport, so the stock specimens may have leaves with defects. The decorative pot is not included in the price.
