Polka Dot Begonia
Begonia Maculata 12 cm Growing Pot
The Polka Dot Begonia is a beautiful foliage plant with two-toned leaves and distinctive white polka dots. A highly desired plant, thanks to its unique appearance.
Maculatas have long crinkle-cut leaves which finish with a point. Their foliage is coloured deep green on top, with a deep reddish-pink overleaf. The Polka Dot variety has a series of perfect white spots on the top.
But there's another reason this plant is special. According to rumour, this Begonia inspired shoe designer Christian Louboutin to create his signature red-soled stilettos! You're not just getting a unique plant, you may also be taking home a slice of history and fashion!
Growing Pot
Your plant will come in a growing pot that you can pop into your favourite decorative container.

Key Benefits of the Polka Dot Begonia - Begonia Maculata
Purifying and Dust Trapping
Plants with larger leaf surfaces like the Polka Dot Begonia are pro air purifiers. As part of their photosynthesis, they remove impurities from the air transforming them into the oxygen you breathe.
Larger leaves are also excellent dust trappers, keeping toxins away from your lungs!
A great plant for the bedroom or for those struggling with respiratory problems.
Plant Care Tips: Polka Dot Begonia
This plant thrives in humid, warm and bright environments, but keep it away from direct sun or it will scorch its leaves. Bathrooms and kitchens are the perfect rooms. Water it weekly and keep the soil constantly moist. Feed it twice a month during the growing season.
