My begonia is flowering for the first time, but I’ve noticed that several leaves have lost their “spots”. Does anyone know what causes this?

I know fertilizer can be an issue if you haven’t fed them properly. Lighting too, I believe there’s too much light, this would cause any variegation or pigmentation to deplete into more of a green “hardy” leaf since they adjusted to brighter light. My guess is move it another inch or two away from your light source :)
