Begonia Maculata

Begonia ‘Maculata’ is a striking tropical houseplant known for its dramatic foliage. Its elongated, dark green leaves are adorned with silvery-white polka dots and feature deep red undersides, creating a bold, eye-catching contrast. This upright perennial adds a sculptural, tropical accent to living spaces, offices, or plant collections, making it a favorite among collectors and interior plant enthusiasts.

Native to Brazil, Begonia ‘Maculata’ thrives in humid, warm environments with filtered light, reflecting its natural understory habitat. The plant grows upright with a branching habit, allowing it to form a lush, architectural display indoors. With its combination of unique foliage patterns and vibrant coloration, Begonia ‘Maculata’ is not only visually appealing but also a conversation starter for tropical plant lovers.

Begonia ‘Maculata’ is ideal for plant enthusiasts with some experience, as it requires moderate care. It prefers bright, indirect light and will suffer if exposed to direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Keep the soil evenly moist, allowing the top inch to dry slightly between watering sessions. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so proper drainage is essential. Regular feeding during the growing season supports healthy foliage and vibrant leaf coloration. With consistent care, this tropical plant will flourish and produce dramatic foliage that enhances any indoor space.

Please note, Begonia ‘Maculata’ is not pet-friendly. Its leaves contain calcium oxalates, which can cause irritation or gastrointestinal upset if ingested by cats or dogs. Keep the plant out of reach of pets to ensure safety. Upon arrival, allow the plant to acclimate to its new environment gradually, avoiding sudden changes in light or temperature. Over time, Begonia ‘Maculata’ will develop a robust, upright growth habit, delivering bold tropical beauty to your indoor plant collection.
