Begonia 'Albopicta'
Begonia ‘Albopicta’ is a striking cane-type Begonia known for its elegant, wing-shaped leaves adorned with silvery-white spots that shimmer beautifully against the deep green foliage. The slightly glossy leaves catch the light, creating a delicate, dappled effect that makes this variety truly eye-catching.
From its arching stems emerge clusters of small, soft pink flowers that perfectly complement the foliage, adding an extra layer of charm. Thriving in warm, humid environments away from cold draughts, Begonia ‘Albopicta’ makes a stunning choice for bright rooms, conservatories, or indoor plant collections where it can enjoy consistent warmth and light.
