Description
Such a striking houseplant, and one we’re sure will be unique in your collection! Get growing indoors with the Polka Dot Begonia houseplant.
The easy to care for nature of this variety does not quite match the look of the plant, it almost doesn’t seem fair to have such an attractive plant that requires such little effort!
Also known as Begonia maculata, or sometimes the Clown Begonia, this boasts big dark olive-green leaves coated in silvery freckle spots, and pointed in shape. Take a look at the reverse of each leaf to see a dazzling reddish shade.
What’s more, you’ll be able to see spring to autumn flowers on this houseplant, with sprays of dainty pink blooms.
For the very best flowering displays, keep this variety in indirect light, with regular waterings to keep the soil damp, but not waterlogged.
Supplied as an established plant in a 12cm nursery pot, ready to display. Please note, the pictured decorative pot is for illustrative purposes and is not included.
Top Tips
Slot this houseplant, provided nursery pot and all, straight into a pot cover for a decorative look.
Care Information
- Place this houseplant in a bright spot, but away from direct sunlight.
- Take care when watering this houseplant. To know when it needs a drink, feel the top couple of inches of soil, if dry, then soak through and leave until it dries before watering once again. Never leave this houseplant sitting in standing water.
- Water directly to the base of the plant, as droplets can leave spots on the leaves.
- Placing the plant on a tray of pebbles filled with water can help to improve humidity.
- Feed in spring and summer using a houseplant-specific feed. Follow packet guidance and avoid exceeding the recommended dosages.
Delivery Information
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
