Begonia maculata is a striking houseplant prized for its distinctive, elongated leaves covered in silvery-white polka dots, with rich burgundy undersides that add even more color and contrast. Native to Brazil, this cane-forming Begonia has an upright, branching growth habit and can produce clusters of delicate white flowers when grown in the right conditions. It prefers bright, indirect light, moderate humidity, and well-draining soil, with the soil allowed to dry slightly between waterings.
