Begonia Maculata

Had a clean-up in the conservatory today, and moved Spotty Dotty out from the kitchen, will see how she fares? Over the moon with the Oxalis too 💜 1st time I've kept it inside over winter, so not used to seeing it until June. Definitely a houseplant from now on #houseplant #houseplants #jrshouseplants #indoorgarden #indoorgardening #indoorplants #foliage #foliageplant

Lovely colour combo

Everything is looking fantastic. The colour on the oxalis is fantastic!

Spotty dotty looks fab!

Oh I love spotty dotty 😍

Looks great 👍 #begonialove

Morning Jason, the oxalis really stands out 💜💜💜

Thanks Christine 💜 Any combinations are unintentional, the houseplants sorta have to go where they can fit 😂 @vegandmore

Thanks Katy, all wanting some warmer temps 🥶 So happy with the Oxalis 💜 @gjones

Thank you very much 😄 I love her look, despite her random growth @joanboston @juliesgarden @docthrill

Morning Jane 💜 Thank you, it definitely adds a pop of colour indoors @pelly

You’ve tarted a new trend with the Oxalis- what a stunner👌🏻

Morning ⚪ Surely it must be #foliagefriday already 😔 This week has dragged on and on #begonia #begonia-maculata #begonia-maculata-polkadot #polkadot #polkadotbegonia #houseplant #houseplants #jrshouseplants #indoorplants #indoorgarden #indoorgardening #foliage #foliageplant #pots

Good morning Jason. Soon be Friday. Unusual plant 🤗

Fraid not 😂. That foliage is very striking 💚🤍💚

Oh hasn’t it .. seems ages since weekend🥱.. . Love the plant

No it was yesterday 🤭🤣

🤣🤣😘

Love this, are they easy to keep? 🤓

Morning Enid, it's very different to the others I have🪴 @godfreye

😔 Thanks Jane 😄 @pelly

I think the weekend was a fortnight ago!!! @juliesgarden

Woohoo, that means it's my day off!! And here I am like an idiot getting ready for work 🙃 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Thanks Ange, very easy, happiest on a North/North-East windowsill out of all direct sun, love their water/misting/humidity, bathroom or kitchen seems to be preferable, mines trying to grow itself into the kitchen sink 😀 @anges

Evening🪴 Repotted and back in her spot, just wanted to show that, from above, she looks fantastic 😄 #begonia #begonia-maculata #begonia-maculata-polkadot #polkadot #polkadotbegonia #houseplant #houseplants #jrshouseplants #indoorplants #indoorgarden #indoorgardening #foliage #foliageplant

Beautiful foliage Jason 👍😍

They are beautiful leaves Jason, maybe keep it low down so you get a better angle?

Thanks very much Diane, I'm quite keen on this spotty one 😄 @hkyfvr

Thanks Joan, maybe in the future, haven't really got anywhere suitable here, at least not during the colder months, it can go back out in the conservatory when it's warmer, got lower spots in there 😀 @joanboston

Looks perfect from that perspective!

I'll just have to keep standing on a stool to look at it 😂😂 @gjones

So very welcome Jason. I can see why. 👍😍

My favourite🥰

One of mine too 😍💚 @Auricula

Looks great Jason!

Thanks Richard ❤ @richard.spicer.7906

Evening🪴 Not the best picture (hard to get a good one) but this Begonia 'Polka Dot' has grown really well, is healthy, and is always putting out new leaves (4 new ones emerging at the moment) but the growth is really odd compared to others of its type, and is leading to a bit of an unattractive plant, but it seems to be really happy with its light and humidity...should I leave it to happily do its thing or move it to see if growth can be encouraged in other directions??

@ShelleySnyder I think this is your category for advice😊

You can turn it or prune it, too

Well I’m useless with advice but if it’s growing that’s a bonus 👍🏼

Evening Jason. I haven’t got a clue 😂

I’d leave well alone hun 😬😂

I agree with them☝️

My advice is rubbish also! All my begonias seem to die inside in winter!🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ but I appreciate the confidence in me Katy @gjones , sorry I'm no help either Jason 💘😍

Hopefully the new leaves will fill out and give it a more balanced shape 🤞🤞

Well clearly I'm very knowledgeable on this subject . I would advise ..... erm .... what everyone else says 😂

I think that particular variety always grows its own way, whatever that is.😃

Morning ☕☔🐈‍⬛ Love the new foliage as it unfurls on the spotty Begonia🪴 #begonia #begonia-maculata #begonia-maculata-polkadot #polkadot #polkadotbegonia #houseplant #houseplants #jrshouseplants #indoorplants #indoorgarden #indoorgardening #foliage #foliageplant
