It is best to leave the plant alone, in terms of watering. It is best to leave it in a shaded spot that gets bright-ish light.

Watching these leaves unfurl is my favorite!! Propagating this one for me I’ve noticed it’s slow to root, but maybe that’s just my luck!😂 however, in the time my cutting has taken to grow half inch roots, it’s got 4 baby leaves!

I LOVE my polka dot begonia! My grandmother gave it to me as a little propagated guy and I took it to school with me. This plant TOOK OFF and grew so tall so fast and with very little maintenance. I love propagating from her because all you do is break off at a knuckle and soak in water until rooted! FABULOUS! Great plant for anyone.

Too early to tell. He is still just a leaf, but he is holding on, so I will give him 2 stars.

This poor guy has been through so MUCH!!

Got him off the clearance rack at Walmart, he starting coming back! He looks great and could not wait to have him start growing!

Then I moved… well during the move he got neglected and starting giving up again. But now that he has his spot and getting his needed attention now, he is starting to bud new nubs again!!

This thing can SURVIVE!!!

Likes humidity - I put rocks underneath her plastic pot in her decorative pot to allow her to create her own humidity.

I looked everywhere for this beautiful angel wing polkadot begonia. Her legs are just breathtaking does not like direct light at all great for any plant collectors collection.

When she arrived from her long journey from Wales to London, looking sad and badly treated I thought she wasn’t going to live long but after giving her love by putting her in a nice spot in my home and letting her get used to her new place after the transportation stress, new leaves started to come out just within 2 weeks. :)

My favourite breed of plant. Has the most beautiful leaves and often spouts them out. Mine is currently growing so tall and has new leaves every single week. Make sure to give some plant food in a drip or weekly and wait for soil to get dry before watering. Very easy to propagate too! Just cut under the nod put in water and wait for roots to appear.

Love this plant. It’s beautiful snd looks like angel wings. The leaves are slightly translucent and are Ed underneath. I think it’s amazing how it grows these silver metallic polka dots on them. I also love watching new leaves unfurl like little spirals

It really is hard to kill this plant. Propagates super easily, and it’s often too big and I have to prune it.

She’s a little bit finicky about humidity but once that was sorted out she perked up and stopped browning on the edge. Overall one of my favorite plants :)

Loves humidity but gets bacteria fast so try to keep water off the leaves as much as possible.
