Begonia - Cracklin Rosie

The Begonia Cracklin’ Rosie’was developed by Walter Dworkin several years ago, and features beautiful, fluted, wavy, with a rich dark bronze color that deepens in bright light. each leaf is heavily spotted with diminutive pink spots that compliment the dark red reverse of the leaf. The overall effect creates a leaf that is very red, dark, and stunning.

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: This variety of begonia prefers to be watered 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.
