Begonia maculata 'Silver Mist'

Begonia maculata 'Silver Mist' is an elegant variety known for its long, dark green leaves dotted with shiny silver spots, giving it an almost fairytale-like appearance. It's a graphic and on-trend plant, perfect for bringing style and light to an interior space.

• Light : Bright, indirect light. Too little light will dull the contrast of patterns, but direct sunlight can burn leaves.

• Watering : Keep the soil slightly moist on the surface, but allow the top 2-3 centimeters to dry out between waterings.

• Humidity : Enjoys high ambient humidity. Ideally placed near a humidifier or on a water tray with clay balls.

• Temperature : Between 18 and 24°C. Avoid cold temperatures and drafts.

• Substrate : Light, well-drained soil, such as potting soil for tropical or foliage plants.

• Fertilization : Apply a balanced fertilizer (low nitrogen) every 4 to 6 weeks during spring and summer.

• Toxicity : Toxic to animals if ingested.

• Special note : Avoid watering the foliage directly to prevent spots and fungal diseases.
