Begonia maculata – Polka Dot Cane Begonia (4.5″ Pot)

Description

Begonia maculata is an upright, cane type Begonia displaying large green angel wing leaves marked with silvery polka dots and a maroon reverse side. Dangling clusters of white flowers bloom in Summer.

Begonias grow best in well-drained, humus-rich soil with moderate water. They prefer high humidity and indirect sunlight. Apply a slow-release fertilizer sparingly in spring. This makes a beautiful accent plant for a border or container, but is primarily used as a houseplant. Even works as a terrarium specimen. Protect from frost!
