Begonia Maculata Wightii Care Guide | Polka Dot Begonia Tips! 

I just rescued my very first one from my local supermarket,the poor thing was not taken care of as half of the leaves on it were dead and it looked beat up as hell. I decided to see if I could save it so I took it home,trimmed off the dead leaves and browned edges,gave it plenty of water and it's thriving now! In only 4 days it's already sprouted 4 new heads,maybe I just got lucky and ended up getting an easy going one but so far this plant hasn't given me any issues.

I love that it has a different color on the underside.

I love it that you talk about the proper care for this plant

Intresting. Our maculata have pink flowers in Finland.

Very thoroughly explained! Thank you so very much! I'm excited to grow the cutting I just got 😁👍

Thank you from Oklahoma…I bought one and I love it …

Love this begonia maculata

Great video, you are so likable 🧡!

I straight love my spotted begonia I had never had one before never even seen one before and I ordered two mediums got six small ones gave three to my best friend cuz we're doing plank collections together and the video was very helpful on what to do with them

Thank you so much 💞

These plants love corners outside. Like balcony corners 💚

Nice beautiful Begonia good collection Watching from California and I follow your videos

Thanks your video

Thank you so much

Thank you .

Thankyou for putting this video ..great up.. 👍👍😍😍

Beautiful Begonia Maculata , again look very healthy , see you later

Thankyou so much, I inherited alot of houseplants from a neighbor who moved overseas and I got one Polka Dot Begonia. It has one stem thats just gone crazy long and I had NO IDEA what to do lol.

I bought a little maculata in a tiny nursery pot that I've had for weeks waiting to be transplanted. I feel guilty that I haven't given it attention but I bought all the soils I want to mix for my new plants and as I started repotting them from their nursery pots I noticed the soils I bought aren't good. They are supposed to be well draining but they're not. As I'm out in the country, it's more than an hour away to get different soils so I don't run to those type stores every day. Anyway, my maculata has sat in my sun room upstairs and I have barely watered it waiting to get new soils which my husband is getting as I type. I paused this video just to run up and check on it and it's sitting there looking way better than it did when we bought it and it has a new leaf that's just opening up! I'd say this is an easy care plant so far. I live in a cold snowy climate and I'll have to see how it will do with a Northern winter before I make cuttings and invest more time in this begonia. Otherwise I love everything about this plant - especially the polka dots!!! Don't be afraid to try this one imho 😁🤓

very descriptive and nice video, buddy. I have seen some on RU-vid, who just stretch the videos and/or do the dramas lolz

Beautiful begonia. Thanks for the info. What do you use to fertilize it?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 super video brother

Wow 👀❤👌

I just got a begonia maculata from Lowes Clearance . It was soo dried out, has fungus gnats, and falling leaves. I repotted it in a pretty airy mix, added perlite and peat moss, and gave it a good soak with a diluted 1/4 hydrogen peroxide + filtered water solution. Hopefully it makes it through!

My friend gave me a cutting. I waiting for it root. Thank you!

Hi. Thanks for the advice. Will help me alot. I had a lovely healthy plant when I bought it. Leaves all but three dropped off. Now I have one very long stem which grew a leaf in the summer which then also fell off a few weeks after. The new fallen leaf is now in water and has roots about an inch almost. Can it grow in water indefinatly or is it better to plant into soil? Also what did I do to make the leaves fall off so rapidly. My humidity in the summer is between around 70-80.Im in the UK. Watered when dry. Was about two to three feet inside my east facing window.Love your Vidio.Just found you and is just perfect for advice.I like that it is about one plant in particular and not general advice about one genus of plants. It's a more targeted care advice Vidio which is ideal. Thanks so much. SARAH

I finally purchased this one. I own 3 other begonias that look like this; 2 smaller and 1 larger in the leaves. Two of them live in the biOrb; 1 is in the kitchen, and this one lives in the living room in my old school green house from Ikea. It is growing nicely, though not as nice as yours. It does grow quickly and I need to move it b/c it has reached the top of the shelf above it, which I just removed it. This is a great plant to me!

Hey! I really enjoyed this video! I own this plant and im starting to get dry tips! I put the plant in my bathroom so when i shower the humidity is high. Also the window is a south facing window and the plant is pretty far from it. Do you have any recommendations? I really need some help

Beautiful begonia, I'm scared to try this variety though, maybe one day when I become more skilled plant person😊 great video, informative, I'll watch it again when I buy her one day just in case🤣🌱✳️

I bought 2 plants and I cut the tips off so I can get a bushy plant .I have now 8 plants and they are growing like weeds. I keep them in the bathroom with 3 daylight bulbs and watering and misting with temp 70-78.

GREAT VIDEO,! What kind of fertilizer do you use?

Can you talk about what kind of substrate is best for cane begonias

I just bought one.

Any idea why the stems would droop down like it’s too weak to hold it?

What home made fertiliser should I use at home

What do you use to fertilize this plant?

they are not from the jungle, but from the central part of brasil, near to Rio de Janeiro :) That's my favorite plant ever, sad to know you can almost not find them anymore here in Brazil in their natural habitat.

What nutes do they need?

How do you fix the plant if you snapped off the base

Do you propagate with leaf only or leaf plus portion of main stem?

Can I use a coco coir base mix? Like coco coir, perlite/pumice, orchid bark and worm casting?

Hay lắm bạn ơi chúc bạn thành công nhé bạn

Very helpful! I’ve been losing leaves so I’m going to cut back and try a pebble tray. 🌿

Thank you for putting this great video up. I have just bought one of these plants. Is it ok to take cutting now, end of August, or do I wait for Spring? Thanks for your help with this.

Watching

I have to keep them in spare aquarium with little bit of water on the bottom. They cant survive outside of it. They love humidity.

I don't find these to be common at all (At least in Southern California). I couldn't find one so eventually I just ordered it online. I wish I could have found one at a nursery.

*Thank you SO MUCH LIAM ! Just bought one of these critters for my NYC arboretum. All the information necessary . Regards from covAIDS PASSPORT FREE NYC as of today ~3/07/2022, much love to you Canadian lads !!!* 👁👁👁

I got one but my house humidity wasn’t good enough and it died

Mine are getting crunchy leaves. Help

Mine only grows leaves at the very top, I literally can't trim her and she's growing like a tree 😒 I've only had flowers 8 or 9 years ago. I don't know what to do

You have a number of cuttings now, rooting in water? If and when you pot up those cuttings, maybe a video about how you do it - a few cuttings in one pot for a bushier baby, or a few separate one-cane wonders?

Someone gifted me one but she doesn't look to good and I don't know how to help her.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="383">6:23</a> what about when propagate in aquarium , are they safe for fish tank?

Also I just put it in soil after I broke the stem

Is it poisonous to cats ?

Mannnn snake plants are invincible?! All my plants are thriving other than my Dracaenas!! Can u give me tips???!
