Begonia Maculata
Lighting: Begonia Maculata (Polka Dot Begonia) thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves and cause damage.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Temperature: Maintain a temperature range of 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and temperature extremes.
Fertilizer: Feed the Begonia Maculata with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
NOT PET-FRIENDLY: Begonia Maculata is considered toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of cats, dogs, and other animals to ensure their safety.
