Product description
Caring for a Begonia maculata (Polka Dot Begonia) requires balancing its love for tropical humidity with its sensitivity to overwatering.
Quick Care Summary
Light: Needs bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch and fade its distinctive silver spots.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water when the top half-inch to one inch of soil feels dry.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (50% or higher). Use a humidifier or pebble tray. Avoid misting the leaves, as wet foliage is prone to powdery mildew.
Temperature: Prefers warm indoor temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C–24°C). Protect it from cold drafts and air conditioners.
Soil: Use a well-draining, light potting mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark can help ensure good aeration and drainage.
