- Light Requirements: The Pink Spotted Begonia thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so placing it near a north or east-facing window is ideal. This plant can tolerate lower light conditions, but its growth may slow, and the vibrant pink spots might fade.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. It is important to ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as this begonia does not like to sit in standing water.
- Soil Requirements: The Pink Spotted Begonia thrives in USDA hardiness zones 10-11, making it ideal for tropical and subtropical climates if grown outdoors. It prefers well-draining soil, such as a mix of peat, perlite, and potting soil. The soil should remain consistently moist but not waterlogged. A slightly acidic to neutral pH range (6.0-7.0) is best for optimal growth and vibrant foliage.
- Foliage: The Pink Spotted Begonia's narrow, lance-shaped leaves are the plant's most striking feature. Each leaf is a bright green color adorned with distinctive pink spots, giving the plant a unique, almost artistic appearance that is sure to stand out in any space.
- Growth Habit and Humidity: This begonia is compact and slow-growing, making it an excellent choice for small spaces or container gardening. It typically grows to a height of 12 to 18 inches and spreads out to a similar width. This plant flourishes in high humidity environments. If your home is dry, consider placing it in a bathroom with natural light or using a humidifier.

Testimonials
Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
