Plant Description

The Begonia maculata cv “Wightii”, commonly known as Polka Dot Begonia or Angel Wing Begonia, is a striking houseplant prized for its large, asymmetrical leaves adorned with distinctive white polka dots. The dark green foliage has a red underside, creating a dramatic contrast that adds visual interest to any space. Growing to a height of 15-30 cm, this begonia produces delicate clusters of white to pale pink flowers that bloom above the foliage. Native to tropical rainforests, it thrives indoors with proper care, making it a popular choice for adding a touch of elegance to home decor.
