Care tips

Place the Begonia Maculata Wightii in bright indirect light, but avoid direct sunlight. Make sure that the soil is always slightly moist, but pay attention to the so-called ‘wet feet’ because it doesn’t tolerate wet growing conditions. You can simply water the Begonia Maculata Wightii on top of the soil. Regularly add some plant food when watering, this will keep the Begonia Maculata Wightii looking good much longer.
