The Begonia Maculata is considered to be an easy care plant as long as you're able to provide certain basic conditions for it to thrive. In terms of soil, a potting mix with good aeration and drainage works very well. Allow the soil to remain slightly damp but not overly wet when watering. The Begonia Maculata enjoys humidity so you may mist the leaves daily or provide a pebble tray. Follow these rather simple steps and you'll be rewarded with an interesting statement plant showcasing large angel wing leaves!
