✨ Begonia maculata, often affectionately called the “Polka Dot Begonia” or “Angel Wing Begonia”, is one of the most striking and stylish houseplants you can add to your collection. Its dramatic foliage is instantly recognizable — long, wing-shaped leaves in a deep olive green, each one adorned with silvery-white polka dots that look as if they’ve been painted on. The undersides of the leaves surprise with a flush of deep crimson, adding another layer of elegance and contrast 🌿.

🌸 When mature and happy, this begonia rewards with clusters of delicate white to pale pink flowers, usually blooming in spring and summer. These blossoms dangle gracefully like little bells, offering a soft, floral touch to an otherwise boldly graphic plant.

📏 Begonia maculata has a naturally upright growth habit and can reach impressive heights over time, often growing up to 60–70 cm indoors. However, at delivery, it arrives as a charming 20 cm tall plant — already full of character, yet compact enough to suit a windowsill or shelf.

💧 In terms of care, this plant prefers even moisture but doesn’t like to sit in soggy soil. Let the top few centimeters dry out before watering again, and always ensure proper drainage. It thrives in high humidity, and regular misting or a nearby pebble tray will help maintain the lushness of its leaves 💦.

☀️ Place it in bright, indirect light to keep the polka dots bold and the leaf colors vibrant. Direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may dull their signature contrast. It enjoys warmth and consistent conditions, far from cold drafts or temperature swings 🌞.

⚠️ Note: Begonia maculata is toxic if ingested, so it’s best kept away from curious pets and little ones. Use gloves when repotting if you have sensitive skin 🌿🧤.

🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 20 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 12 cm.
