Calathea "Velvet Glory" Large Size

Begonia maculata is a plant that thrives in humid environments, with abundant diffused light but no direct sunlight. Avoid drafts and proximity to radiators. The ideal soil is well-draining; it does not like waterlogging. The ideal mix consists of peat, perlite, and universal potting soil in equal parts. It is a fast-growing plant, especially during the warmer months, so it is advisable to repot it into a larger pot when the plant's roots have filled the current one.
