Instructions d'entretien

To care for Begonia maculata, place it in a location with bright, indirect light. Maintain moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.

Sol

Begonia maculata prefers well-draining loamy soil. A mix of potting soil with perlite or sand can improve drainage. Ensure the soil remains moist but not soggy to prevent root rot.

Engrais

Feed Begonia maculata with a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, every 2-4 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Rempotage

Repot Begonia maculata every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has drainage holes. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.

Propagation

Propagate Begonia maculata through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and place it in water or moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop, then transplant it to a pot with well-draining soil.

Taille

Prune Begonia maculata to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves and trim back leggy stems. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season as needed.

Toxicité

Begonia maculata is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling in the mouth and throat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Supplémentaire

To increase humidity around Begonia maculata, consider using a humidity tray or a room humidifier. Misting the plant can also help, but avoid over-wetting the leaves to prevent fungal issues.
