About Me

Hey, I’m Begonia maculata – also known as the Polka Dot Begonia. My stunning, silver-speckled leaves are what make me a showstopper in any plant collection. I grow compact and elegant, with large, asymmetrical leaves that will have everyone asking, “What kind of plant is that?”

I love bright, indirect light, so keep me in a cozy spot with filtered sunlight, and I’ll thrive. A bit of extra humidity will also make me feel right at home, so a humidifier or a bathroom with good light is perfect for me.

I’m a low-maintenance beauty, but my unique appearance makes me a real statement piece. Keep me away from direct sunlight, and I’ll reward you with my incredible foliage. Just remember, I’m toxic to pets and children, so keep me out of reach.
