Begonia - Rex

Not available for shipping.

The vibrant foliage of Rex Begonias immediately catches the eye due to their bright coloration and fascinating leaf patterns that can appear painted on at first glance. The mature leaves of this bushy grower can grow to nearly six inches wide, and though not grown for their flowers, adequate humidity and light conditions will result in delicate perennial blooms. Choose from a variety of color variations.

Light: Provide your Begonia with bright, indirect light for optimal growth. Avoid placing in direct sunlight to prevent leaf discoloration and sunburn. Paling of the leaves can be an indication of too much direct sun, while yellowing and leaf shedding is a good indication that your Begonia is in need of more bright, filtered sun.

Water: Begonias prefer to remain consistently moist, but never wet or soggy. Water when soil is dry at least halfway down in the pot. When thirsty, the plant will pale in color and go limp at the stems, but rest assured - a good drink will quickly pop her back upright.

Humidity: Moderate Humidity is best. We recommend adding a humidifier to your plant care routine to help provide humidity if your space is dry. While Begonias require some humidity to thrive, make sure to avoid keeping their leaves constantly wet.
