GENERAL INFORMATION

• Begonia maculata, or Polka Dot begonia as it’s often called, is a splashy show-stopper that looks fantastic with its olive-green leaves and contrasting spots.
• It’s a houseplant that is likely to turn heads in your home, and thankfully it isn’t too difficult to care for.
• The plant’s exotic look has many moving parts: silver polka dots that seem painted on olive-colored leaves, crimson-colored undersides, and sprays of open bell-like red or white flowers with bright yellow centers on bamboo-looking knotty stems.
• If you’re looking for something unusual that attracts attention, this over-the-top begonia is a great choice.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• A light houseplant potting mix is ideal.
• Add perlite if drainage is insufficient.
