{"title":"Indoor Begonia — Graphic Foliage and Colorful Blooms","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith their spotted, velvety, or iridescent leaves, Begonias are among the most graphic indoor plants available. Each variety features a unique pattern — silver spots, purple undersides, embossed textures — making them true collector’s items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Begonia Maculata: the social media star\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can’t miss the \u003cstrong\u003eBegonia maculata\u003c\/strong\u003e, recognizable from a mile away with its long olive green leaves dotted with silver spots and bright red undersides. Its upright growth and asymmetrical foliage make it a real decorative piece. It requires bright but indirect light, a fairly humid atmosphere, and regular watering without ever letting water stagnate.

The key point is watering: they dislike both soggy soil and complete drying out. The rule: water when the top few centimeters of soil are dry, avoiding wetting the leaves to prevent spots and botrytis. A well-draining potting mix with perlite is recommended.

Avoid direct sunlight that burns the leaves, but also avoid very dark corners where the plant will wither and lose its patterns. An east- or west-facing window with a light sheer curtain works perfectly.
