- The Begonia Maculata care tips is one of the most highly requested so far… I explain in great details how to care for them in terms of light, water, pests. I also address fungal and bacterial issues with these plants… They are considered an easy and fast growing plants, although the care does look a little bit different from your other tropical houseplants. I propagate this plant in water and in soil. and then show you guys an update on the cuttings 6 weeks later later.

I’m so happy you recorded the bad results! Seriously! Because most of the times, plant youtubers tend to only show the good outcomes for propagations and often they don’t work when I do it... and I live in Brazil, so no humidity problems whatsoever 😂😅 yeah, just , GREAT VIDEO!
Thank you 😌
I live In brazil too🥰
Hey Gabriela,
I have a friend who lives in Brazil too (São Paulo)
Is what we call it “rare plants” in Europe specially aroids like variegated Adansonii and so on cheap in Brazil for local? I just want to know as he asking me to let him know what I would like to buy... I will be grateful if you reply to my message 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰
@@leilal544 Hi! I'm from brazil too and I can respond your comment even though it passed 5 months. So, no, rare plants here aren't cheap. I've never found variegated adansonii, for example. The variagated deliciosa costs about 1000-2000 reais which is one to two minimum salaries here and about 200 to 400 us dolars. The begonia maculata costs about 120-200 reais (30 to 40 dolars). But the rarest ones are expensive for us.
I've never had plants look like his he needs to stop killing plants 🪴 😅 😳 😂 😐
Vomiting out the leaves 😂😂😂 that is so accurate LOL I'll think of that every time mine pushes out a new one lol
🤮😅
"All the cool plants are from Brazil" Owwww, so cute! Greetings from Brazil!
😀😀
I purchased my polka dot begonia today from Walmart. I couldn’t believe my eyes, $16 for a 6” decorative pot. I’m super excited because this is my first Begonia. Wish me luck.
Lucky you! I bought mine today too, same size but for $24 😕
I got mine from Walmart as well... it was dying so they sold it to me for $8
@@TheNaturalfirefly same! 😅
I was looking for nice looking begonia for over 6months- all I saw had partly dried leaves...and finally I found my beauty for £8! So excited and happy, that you guys found beautifull ones as well 🥰
Hope it goes well. I got mine in Von's grocery store in Catalina Island last week for $8. It is pretty healthy. It is now repotted and in our home in Long Beach.
All the cool plants are from Brazil!! Me a Brazilian girl learning about plants listening to this like : awnnnn 🥰🥰🥰
Cool people are from Brazil too 😀
When you got so excited about the cute little baby begonia leaves being born, I felt the same! Soooooooooo cute!
Yesss I have a video on baby leaves coming soon and these begonias take the crown for the cutest babies
Awesome video!! Thank you sooo much for showing the "3 weeks later" results in the same video. I really appreciate it because it helps viewers who are trying to learn!!
The dedication and consistency behind each video you post is so impressive!! Thank you for taking your time to film these wholesome contents for us Sean💕 turning us into avid watchers by the day😌
Thank you. I’m just getting started 😏
I love your vibe and I absolutely appreciate that you live in the tropics just as I do!!! I enjoyed this video and look forward to the many more you post!
Thank you! This was the best info about polka dot begonias that I found so far. I am in love with this plant. So beautiful.
You are so positive and lovely. This was a treat to watch. Thank you so much.
This was a great video, thank you for doing the follow up videos. So helpful hope my begonia stays alive and well with this advice 😊
I was given a begonia maculate 6 years ago and it is thriving!!! Just found out what kind of plant it was a couple months ago so I decided to give water propagation a try. Having great success growing indoors here in Montana. Thank you for your video!
Thank you Sean for sharing your knowledge. You are my go to for learning about plants 😊
Great Video and info! Just got my first plant and I'm so excited! Thank you!!
Wonderful video! Thank you so much. These are on of my favorite plants. I grow them indoors in the South of France as well as the angel wing begonia outside (the one that looks like these but have smaller leaves and pink flowers), and I just started growing them in the Philly USA...and am hopping they do as well as the ones I have in the South! My plant here in the US is new and still small, and I hope it becomes as beautiful as your.
Thank you again
I learned a lot from this video even though I don't live in the tropics. Having tried several propagation methods I too find the water propagation the way to go when propagating most house plants.
Thank you for a very informative video. I am receiving my Begonia Maculata next week, so the timing of me seeing this video, is perfect😁
I just bought one this week so this video came at the right time!! I'm going to watch it carefully :B
Thanks a lot for this video. I haven't enjoyed a plant themed video as much as yours in quite a while. Lots of information and still entertaining and funny. 😊
Thank youu 😀
Great video, I like the way u showed both bad and good result of the plants. Because sometime I do have the same problems
im feeling brave enough to propagate mine now!! Thanks!!💚
Thanks so much,I just got my begonia a month ago and now I can propagate it 👍Thnks to you ❤️❤️❤️
Love how you let is see the 3- week later result of your work and the closeup camera shots of the plants as you take cuttings so that we can actually see what u do.
Always super informative, thank you. I learnt they need a scheduled watering cycle and they grow best when staked up. After watching your video, I feel more equipped to grow my baby plant. Thank you!
😍Thank you Sean, pleasantly surprised to see you uploaded again so quickly! 🤗
😌🙏🏽
You: I got the care for these plants down!!! 😀
Also you: .... I live in the tropics
😩😩😩😂😂😂⚰️⚰️⚰️💀💀💀💀
That was the most helpful video ever!! Thank you! I got one a Fee weeks ago and she is doing great so far, but i realized i water her to much, so you saved my Begonia 😄
only discovered this channel today and I'm going on a little binge watch, absolutely love your energy and enthusiasm! and thank you for sharing the proportions that didn't work out
Whoaa thank you
This is such an amazing & informative video, and I love the way you speak about the plants! I can tell that you love them, thank you for this!
😀😀
I did the cone cutting way and it has rooted in a fast food container with sphagnum moss. I plant my adult plants in chunky orchid mix in a pot without drainage too and it does great.
I love your blooper comments. So funny. Thank you for posting this!! I'm ready to propagate now
🙈🙈
May I just say I enjoyed all the detail and info of hard work you put into this video I actually have the same exact plant been trying to find the perfect video to care for it Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Good luck 😀
This was so helpful and I love how much you enjoy the details about the plants! Thank you!
🥰🥰
your intelligence and care for all your plants makes me smile (:
🙈🙈
This was fantastic! I learned so much valuable information. I really appreciate your thoroughness. I was afraid to prune my leggy maculata but now I can’t wait!!
Be sure to water it less after a prune 😀
Thanks for the video. I'm starting my first attempt to propagate the Polka Dot Begonia with a single cutting that I received, of one leaf that has a spike.
Much needed information, I purchased my first one today for £8.50 and was a bit concerned by the drying leaves and buds so was so happy to hear you explain why this may happens, so thanks a lot
Thank you for all the great information, I just purchased my first one
Thank you for this informative video. Watching from the Philippines. ☺️
as someone living in the tropics and are looking at care for specific plants you highlight, this is so helpful!
😀
Shawn, I love this fun plant! Thank you for giving us so many great tips. I will start propagating them...wish me luck!
😀😀
You were right about those spots that can occur on the leaf being due to bacterial or fungal... Sometimes I think it's because my collection of begonias grows larger than the space there in because of being overcrowded! So I try to keep the ceiling fan going where my first collection is in the dining area. I noticed a couple plants coming from all three nurseries had signs of either fungal or bacterial on the leaves so what I did is I cut that part of the leaf off because the plants were not that large and I was afraid to cut back on photosynthesis by removing the whole leaf. I didn't spray them I just cut back the leaves and provided good air circulation and the problem cleared up but the problem came from the nursery not from my home.
Love Begonias. All your plants are so healthy and nice
Omg i love this guy. I’ve been looking at begonias but have been hesitant since they seem tricky . GREAT VIDEO
Begonias are easy once you get the hang of it. Most of them have similar type care 😀
Thanks for the weeks-long updates! Even though it was challenging to do your own camera work it still came out very well. Kudos!!
Thank youu
Thank you so much for doing updates! It’s so helpful!
Thank u for this...the only video I have found after a lot of searching that showed me what to do with my one stem, on leaf & node at the bottom to propagate 😍💥
😀
Thank you for sharing your expertise. You are honest with mistakes that you have made which helps so much for many of us. Thanks again
😌😌
Thank you so much for this! The little plastic bottle propagation worked well for me, finally! I have been trying for a long time.
Happy to hear!
New here!!!! This video was very helpful!!! I just got one from lows and she to me doesn't look good, but now I know she just needs a little TLC ! Thank you for you help and tips! Very much appreciated
🥰🥰
Thank you so much. Your video is so much helpful and informative. You have shown all the good and bad results which is more helpful for us to know the growth of plant
Thank you, failure is just as important as success. They teach the best lessons. Happy planting!
Thank you so much for this, please do more about begonias, especially their media...thank you once again 💕
Hello do check out my video on forest floor potting mix as well as begonia black velvet. I have a feeling they will help address a lot of begonia issues. More to come!
You're so likable! This is the first video of yours I'm watching but I can already tell I'll enjoy your channel al lot :)
Whoaaa thank you ❤️ welcome to the channel
I just bought one last week and it’s so cute! 🤗
Love to see your propagation with updates. It makes me want to propagate mine. 🤣
Haha do itttt!
Sending a big thanks FROM BRAZIL to your channel. I live next to the city where all these greenhouses for exportation take place in Brazil, and I just got one of this today. Love your channel. keep it up.
❤️❤️
its easy to propagate in water because i already did that, new subs here🥰
I’m usually very critical of videos... I love your video! You were on topic, didn’t ramble showed us some helpful information as well as putting time in editing tI be a better video! I enjoyed this more than the fancy you tubers with fancy equipment! Thanks for sharing your love and knowledge of plants with us.
Thank youu
Giving filtered water instead of tap water helps with the crispy tips too!
Ooo yes 😀
I got two cuttings for about $2 and decided to root them in soil. Now they have roots, so I’m waiting for their baby leaves. Wish us luck!
Cant unhear the vomiting leaves part, I am going hear that every time I see a new leaf pushing out. TQ for the video full of knowledge and tips.
You’re welcome 😌
Great realistic and relatable content! Thank you!!!
🙏🏽🙏🏽
You always make me laugh:) I love your videos. I love your propagations and that you're 'so greedy' with them:) Thank you!
I just discovered you on IG and I’m so happy it brought me here. Keep up the awesome content! (: Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Its nice to be connected to you too. Hope all is well in Canada 🙌🏻
Excellent presentation. Gosh... I always have my sister-in-law to thank, as she had presented me with my first ever Begonia Plant. Just would not stop growing... so I learned over the years... propagating.. and Gifting Friends. Very temperamental plant but a Beaty to have as a companion in the Living Room.
She is temperamental so we can always look at her lol.
Thanks for this very informative and friendly video. I have a beautiful maculata begonia that I’d love to propagate and thanks to you I will proceed. 😊
Thank you. 😀😀❤️
I adore your passion, I get so excited over cute new little babies too and I can feel your excitement which I love. Hope they're still doing well for you. I'm in the UK but have such a love for all the beautiful tropical plants, Borneo is my favourite place on earth and I try to replicate a beautiful rainforest in my house so I always feel like I'm there
Mannnn I wanna visit Borneo someday
I’m having such a hard time to keep my begonias alive. Thank you for all the great information.
😀
I love your channel!! Thank you for showing the propagation anatomy part! So many people skip that part, and it's exactly what I'm always looking for. I also really appreciate the updates, and results from different methods. Thank you so much!
Thank youuu. Propagation is a major part of plant care for me. All plants must be propagated as they will always outgrow the space its given. Besides who dont want more plants? 😃
@@onlyplants exactly!!!
Hi Shawn, just chance upon your posting. Great guidance and I have recently spent a substantial sum for a 3 leaf begonia malculata. It has now grown to about 7-8 leaves after 1.5 months and I have just learnt from you how to propagate them. Many thanks again and please continue to share your knowledge & skills with us
You’re welcome. They are such fast growers. 😀
Hi. My neighbour has given me a polka dot begonia and it’s grown so quick. I thought I’d pop over to your channel and subscribe as you are very knowledgeable. Thank you for advise 👍🏻🌸
Sweet, thank you!! 🥰
We are SO lucky! Thank you for this video, needed it so badly!
Thank you 😌🙏🏽
This was a very informative video, thank you so much 🙏🏼💚🙋🏻♀️🕊
Thanks for this video. It has helped me to relax and not to be over stresses. About my polka-dot begonias maculata
Thank you. Bought one of these on "clearance" so I think I got a good deal. Learning a lot about it. 👍
Yayeee 😀 i have a later video on this plant, released last week. It has update and advanced care tips
@@onlyplants : thank you. I will check it out 👍
I just brought my first begonia maculata last week and after your video I am more confident about maintaining a healthy plant. I am a new subscriber and so happy I found your channel. Greetings and love from Croatia! :)
Thank youu and good luck with the plant
Thanks for sharing.. this video helps a lot..very clear and informative..
Thanks for sharing your vedio beautiful plants watching from California
Just found you. Love the videos. Your authenticity is endearing.
🙈
Every time I search for a plant on CZcams I swear you’re the first result and you’re holding the biggest [whatever plant] I’ve ever seen lol. These polka dot begonia are so pretty. Finally got one and have high hopes!
😀😀
Awesome I learned so much I won’t water mine as much! I thought it was bcuz it was getting too much light! Thanks yours is beautiful
Thank you ❤️
They are so interesting. Thank you so much for explaining about them.
😀❤️
Just bought one today. How befitting. Indonesian in Sydney.
🙌🏻
Thabk you for starting this video explaining your environmental conditions!! So many (too many) say its so easy but theyre in tropical humidity. Im in Canadian prairies and its very dry humidity a lot of the year and cant make a greenhouse even when i try lol tyty Im getting a begonia polkadot for my mom to kill this year next to her allocacia..hope they make each other humid 😆
😅😅
The ones propagated in water look the best, the roots look real healthy.
I love all your videos thank you so much for sharing. You are amazing and I love your personality. As far as these poke-a-dot begonias , they are way out of my league right now but hopefully in a year or 2 I'll be coming back to this video to try and figure them out 💚💚💚💚
I hope you can get your hands on one they are actually fast growers and easy to propagate so I think they will catch up with demand
I love my polkadot begonia. Was wondering how to propagate her. It’s so happy where I have it right now and I don’t want it to get tooooo big rn so I’m thinking of propagating it rather than just trimming it down.
So this video is perfect, very informative
Thank youu
Thank you for this! I brought a cutting and I was worried about it until I saw your video
I had one in South Africa that I used to water once a week and it thrived. I am now in Thailand and I am on plant number 4. My first one did well because I had an aircon now I only have a fan and it definitely isn’t the same. So 3 💀 and now with plant number 4 I replanted it immediately after getting it into a different soil than before I took a cutting. No roots yet but also no dead Begonia🤞🏼hopefully this one stays alive because it is really my favourite plant.
My plant in South Africa used to get black spots, can’t remember what it’s called but Neem oil helps for the fungus
First of all, I love South Africa. The nature there is spectacular. Secondly, I want to move to Thailand too 🥹🥹
Thank you so much for this awesome video, full of information, that I really needed for my Begonia
❤️❤️ you’re welcome
I bought a couple of these from a nursery called Taylor's Greenhouse for 895 that's $8.95. They were in like 2 inch square pots one is doing great and the other one is struggling so I put the one that struggles in the bathroom with lots of LED light and some light from a window. The other one that's a little bit better is growing under LED lights and since the sun is lower in the sky since it's winter on a really sunny day it may get a little bit of sun 15 feet from the window. I also paid 20 some dollars for one that was probably three times as big the plant not the pot from logee's and the one stock died and the other one was only left with two leaves. It now has 4 leaves two are getting kind of big and it appears like it's going to do well. I think they gave it too much fertilizer because there is a huge gap between Leaf scars! I think all three are going to make it but I can't wait till summer when I can put them outside and then they'll do really well. I really really love angel wing begonias they're my favorite house plant. I've bought a lot from logees and Steve's leaves. A great begonia that's even better if it's possible then the this wonderful polka-dot begonia is flamingo Queen that I bought from Steve's leaves. It also has huge dots not spots and what I love about it is it has little tiny spots all along the leaf outline! The leaves are also very very huge. I am going to post a video soon I hope about the about the about the rest of my begonia collection I bought from Steve's leaves this summer. I do have the unboxing videos from Taylor's greenhouse and Steve's leaves on my CZcams channel. It gives you an idea of what you get for $8.95 and free shipping if you buy $85 worth of plants from Taylor's Greenhouse and the size of begonias from Steve's leaves which are anywhere from 1295 $12.95 and up plus shipping so each begonia cost close to $20. I haven't lost any of the angel wing begonias and I also have a couple angel wing begonias that I bought locally at some nurseries and then a few Rex begonias which are more difficult to grow than the cane begonias or Angel wing begonias! But both like to dry out between waterings not bone dry but dry they do not like to be kept soggy
Good Lord. You're such a darling! Thanks for this. ☀️
Your reaction to the cute baby leaves 🥺🥺🥺
You give me hope! Thank you for this video!
Very informative. I wanted to get this plant for a long time.
😀😀
This was the most helpful video on begonia. Thank you, you're awesome!!!
Today, i randomly got some begonia stems with leaves and i am trying to grow them. Let's see how it goes.. I will update here the results after a month)
They propagate quite easily 😀
i love begonias ang iove watching your videos.. very i formative. thanks for sharing
Thank you. I hope to propagate more begonias and share process. They have the highest failure rate so far 😀
Thank you! AND I must say I love your disclaimer notes :D
😅
Lisa A from Chattanooga Tn, I never had any Begonias but I am going to try and find this one its so pretty I really like your videos cant wait for the next one Thanks for sharing .
Im excited for you to try one 🤓
This video was very helpful! My polkadotted Begonia has been dropping leaves, but with all this info I hope I'll be able to bring it back! Thank you!!
😀😀😀 happy to hear
We're you able to bring her back?
