Begonia Rex

The Begonia Rex is a show-stopping houseplant prized for its vibrant, patterned leaves in shades of silver, purple, pink, green, and red. With its dramatic foliage and compact size, this begonia brings colorful flair and artistic texture to any indoor space.

Key Features:

Size: Grows up to 12–18 inches tall and 12 inches wide, making it perfect for tabletops, shelves, or plant displays.

Growth: A moderate grower that thrives with proper care and attention to humidity.

Pet Friendliness:

The Begonia Rex is not pet-friendly.  It can be toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets if ingested. Keep it safely out of reach of pets and small children.

Care Instructions:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while low light may reduce its vibrant colors.

Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Begonias are sensitive to overwatering, so ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (50% or higher). Place near a humidifier or on a pebble tray to maintain humidity, especially in dry homes.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 16–24°C. Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a mix with peat, perlite, and compost for richness and aeration.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Skip feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.

Pruning: Remove any damaged or old leaves to encourage fresh growth and keep the plant looking tidy.
