To care for a Begonia maculata, provide bright, indirect light, and water when the top inch of soil is dry to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Maintain high humidity (around 50% or higher) and a consistent temperature between 65–75°F (18–24°C), while fertilizing every two to three weeks with a half-strength balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
Light
- Place in a spot with bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light will cause the polka dots to fade.
Watering
- Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy to prevent root rot.
- Avoid letting the plant sit in water.
- Use room-temperature water to prevent shocking the roots.
Humidity and temperature
- This plant thrives in high humidity (around 50% or higher). Consider using a humidifier or a pebble tray, especially in dry winter months.
- Keep temperatures between 65–75°F (18–24°C).
- Protect the plant from cold drafts.
