Polka Dot Begonia (Begonia maculata) thrives in bright, indirect light, high humidity, and temperatures between 18-30°C. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry, ensuring well-draining soil to avoid root rot. Feed monthly during spring/summer, and pinch back stems to encourage a bushier shape.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch leaves, while too little light inhibits flowering.
Watering: Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy. Use the "finger test" to check if the top 2-3 cm (about an inch) of soil is dry. Overwatering leads to root rot, while underwatering causes wilting.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (>40-50%). Increase moisture by placing it on a pebble tray, using a humidifier, or placing it in a bathroom.
Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions (18-30°C). Keep away from cold draughts.
Pruning & Maintenance: Pinch back stems to prevent the plant from becoming too leggy or sparse.
Toxicity: Toxic if ingested; keep away from cats and dogs
Plant will come gift wrapped and in a box, with a note card.
