Begonia 'Rex' - 4" Pot

🌿 Begonia Rex: The Regal Beauty 🌿

Description: Step into a world of vibrant colors and intricate patterns with the Begonia Rex, also known as the Painted-Leaf Begonia. This stunning houseplant is celebrated for its dazzling foliage, which comes in a kaleidoscope of colors including shades of green, red, silver, and purple. Each leaf is a masterpiece, often heart-shaped or spiraled, with a metallic sheen or velvet-like texture that adds a touch of luxury to any indoor space. Native to the humid, shaded undergrowth of tropical forests in Asia, the Begonia Rex is a true testament to nature’s artistry.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity environments. Mist the leaves regularly or place a humidifier nearby to maintain optimal humidity levels.
• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature changes.
• Soil: Use well-draining, rich, loamy soil.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season.
• Pests: Watch out for common pests like spider mites and mealybugs. Treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.
