Begonia maculata ‘Pink Spot’ – Angel Wing with Pink Polka Dots

Begonia maculata ‘Pink Spot’ is an angel‑wing begonia with elongated, spotted leaves and rosy tones, bringing a playful, graphic look to shelves, plant cabinets, and bright windows.
Long description
Begonia maculata ‘Pink Spot’ is a hybrid of the classic polka‑dot begonia, loved for its wing‑shaped leaves and shimmering spots. Foliage ranges from deep green to bronzy crimson, dotted with tiny silver or rosy‑pink speckles, and backed by rich pink or reddish undersides that glow when light passes through the leaves. As it matures, this plant forms upright, cane‑like stems and a loose, architectural silhouette that looks stunning in decorative pots or mixed plant groupings.
Given enough light, ‘Pink Spot’ can reward you with delicate clusters of soft pink or white blooms that float above the foliage. It thrives in bright, indirect light—near an east window, a few feet back from a south or west window, or under grow lights. With the right mix and watering rhythm, it will push out new leaves and spots season after season.
