house plant with spotted leaves Betty the Begonia Maculata Wightii

Hi, I’m Betty the Begonia maculata. My leaves look like your next picnic blanket or Cath Kidston Blouse, which is why I’m known as the polka dot begonia, spotted begonia or the spotted leaf plant. Polka dots aren’t just a fashion trend; nope, they’re a natural design that I wear with pride and which suit my bright and bold personality. I have no doubt that my colourful leaves - they’re crimson underneath to complement my silvery white spots - will cheer up your hallway or add a splash of colour to your landing.

I’m from the tropical regions of South America and Asia, in whose rainforests I grow. All together we consist of over 10,000 hybrid species which are all extremely rare, although many argue that I’m the most spectacular of all thanks to my unique patterns.

I’m a cheerful and attractive plan that is sure to add some pizzazz to any bright indoor space and bring the tropics directly to your door.  

Height (including nursery pot) 30cm; pot diameter 14cm.

Betty’s spotty leaves will add personality and vibrance to a sunny hallway or landing.
