Begonia maculata

Begonia maculata, also known as "Polka Dot Begonia" or "Angel Wings", is a striking and elegant houseplant that captivates with the beauty of its leaves and its graceful appearance. Native to the tropical forests of Brazil, this variety of begonia has oval, wavy-edged, bright green leaves adorned with silver or white spots and distinctive markings that resemble angel wings. These unique patterns add a touch of sophistication and charm to the plant, creating a striking contrast with the deep green of its leaves.

To care for your Begonia maculata, place it in a bright location out of direct sunlight, where it can benefit from indirect light. This plant appreciates a warm and humid environment, so maintain a slightly humid atmosphere around it by regularly spraying its leaves with water. Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings to avoid excess moisture.

Fertilize your Begonia maculata once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer, diluted to half the recommended strength. Prune faded or yellowed leaves regularly to encourage healthy growth and maintain the plant's aesthetic appearance. With the proper care, your Begonia maculata can thrive and add a touch of grace and elegance to your interior, creating a peaceful and lush atmosphere in your home.
