Peacock the Spotted Begonia, Small

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.

Care

Difficulty Intermediate, some plant care experience recommended.

Maintenance Average, 1-2 hours hours per month.

Water Check soil moisture every 5-7 days and water thoroughly when the soil is dry about halfway down the pot. Always allow your plants to drain and remove excess water from beneath the plant afterwards.

Light

Other As the plant grows, it may need some support to stay upright. Bamboo sticks or chopsticks and cotton twine will do the trick!
