Begonia maculata 'Double dot
Begonia maculata 'Double Dot' is a remarkable houseplant, known for its distinctive foliage adorned with double rows of white spots on dark green leaves. This unique variety is perfect for adding a touch of elegance and modernity to any interior space, thanks to its spectacular foliage.
Origin: Begonia maculata is native to the tropical forests of Brazil, where it thrives in damp, shady environments. The 'Double Dot' variety has been selected for its distinctive spot pattern, which sets it apart from other Begonia maculata varieties.
Growth: This plant grows moderately, generally reaching 30-60 cm in height. Its leaves are elongated and pointed, deep dark green with double rows of perfectly aligned white spots. The undersides of the leaves are often reddish, adding another dimension of color to this already fascinating plant.
Flowers: Begonia maculata 'Double Dot' produces clusters of small white or pink flowers, often bell-shaped, which appear in contrast to the mottled foliage. Flowering can be quite generous under the right light conditions.
Light: This plant prefers bright but indirect light. It tolerates partial shade, but its patterns and blooms will be most vibrant in moderate to strong indirect light. It is crucial to avoid direct sunlight, which can burn delicate leaves.
Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Begonia maculata 'Double Dot' appreciates high ambient humidity, which you can maintain with a humidifier or by placing the plant on a tray of damp pebbles. During winter, reduce watering to prevent the soil from drying out completely.
Substrate: Use a light, well-draining potting mix of houseplant potting soil mixed with perlite or peat moss. Make sure the pot has good drainage to avoid water accumulation.
Toxicity: Begonia maculata 'Double Dot' may be toxic to pets if ingested, due to the presence of oxalates. It is therefore recommended to keep it out of reach of pets.
