Begonia maculata

A striking tropical plant which always catches the eye. The spotted Begonia has stunning foliage with silver spots covering a dark green heart shaped leaf. The undersides are even a stunning crimson red making this plant even more striking. These are happy in a warm and bright home out of any cold draughts or direct sunlight, ideally in a consistent temperature of 16C (60F) and above. Throughout the spring and autumn water frequently but ensure the pot can drain well each time. Reduce the amount of watering in the winter months but do not let the soil dry out. It should be fed between March and September during its active growth period and will love some humidity, so mist from time to time. Place on top of pebbles and water so that as it evaporates this will increase the humidity around it. Height Up To 100cm (39in) Spread Up To 50cm (20in). Some houseplants are toxic to pets if ingested, please seek advice from a veterinary professional if you believe it has been consumed. Ensure you take a sample of the plant with you. The size of the plant will differ depending on when in the year it is purchased – visuals are an indication only.
