Begonia maculata (often called the Polka Dot Begonia) is a striking, eye-catching houseplant known for its dramatic wing-shaped leaves marked with bold, silver-white spots. The top side of each leaf features deep olive-green tones with perfectly contrasting polka dots, while the undersides glow with a rich reddish-purple hue. Its tall, cane-like stems give it an elegant, upright form, and when happy, it produces delicate clusters of white or pink flowers. Begonia maculata thrives in bright, indirect light, moderate humidity, and lightly moist soil, making it a statement plant that rewards consistent care with lush, colorful growth and unique, artistic foliage.
