Peacock the Spotted Begonia, Small
Online exclusive, not available for pickup.
Hard to find | Infrequent Watering
Add some show-stopping style to your plant collection with the Spotted Begonia. Fetching hundreds of dollars for a small plant just a few years ago as one of the rarer houseplants, the Begonia's red backs are said to have inspired the famous red soles of Louboutin shoes.
In order to keep your plant happy and colourful, place your Begonia in a very bright spot - within a few feet of a window where it can see the sky. Allow its soil to dry almost completely and water thoroughly.
Also known as Begonia Maculata.

Maintenance Average, 1-2 hours hours per month.
