Polka Dot Begonia, 14cm

Polka Dot Begonia (Begonia maculata)

Common Names in South Africa: Polka Dot Begonia, Spotted Begonia, Angel Wing Begonia
Overview: Native to Brazil, the Polka Dot Begonia is a showstopping houseplant with elongated, olive-green leaves adorned with silvery-white polka dots and red undersides. Perfect for bright, humid indoor spaces, it adds a vibrant, artistic flair to South African homes, thriving in indirect light.
Quirky Fact: Its dotted leaves look like they were splattered by a painter with a thing for polka parties!
Care for Damaged Leaves: Trim damaged or yellow leaves with clean shears to encourage new growth. With high humidity, well-draining soil, and bright indirect light, recovery typically takes 35 weeks.
Safety Note: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing irritation. Keep away from children and pets.
