Begonia maculata (Polka Dot/Spotted Begonia) is a striking cane-type begonia with dramatic, wing-shaped leaves speckled in silver and rich red undersides—great as a statement plant in bright, gentle light.
Foliage: Olive-green, “angel-wing” leaves with metallic silver spots; burgundy undersides.
Flowers: Hanging clusters of white to pale pink blooms in warm seasons.
Habit/size: Upright, cane-like stems; typically 1.5–3 ft indoors (taller with support).
Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid harsh sun to prevent leaf scorch.
Water: Keep evenly moist but not soggy—let top 1 in of soil dry between waterings.
Humidity & temp: Prefers 50%+ humidity; warm 65–80°F; avoid drafts.
Soil: Light, airy mix (potting soil + perlite/bark) with good drainage.
Care notes: Pinch or stake for bushier growth; propagate easily from cane cuttings.
Toxicity: Mildly toxic if ingested (pets/people).
All plants come with a regular black nursery pot
