Who needs flowers when the leaves look like this? π
Rex Begonias are grown for their spectacular foliage, with dramatic colours, patterns and textures that make each plant look almost hand-painted. This beauty brings rich burgundy, pink and silvery tones and is perfect for adding a little drama to a shelf or plant collection.
ππ Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Too much direct sun can scorch those gorgeous leaves, while very low light can dull the colour.
π Water: Water when the top inch or so of soil begins to feel dry. Rex Begonias like consistent moisture but absolutely hate sitting soggy, good drainage is essential.
π§ββοΈ Humidity: Loves moderate to higher humidity, but avoid keeping the leaves constantly wet. Good airflow helps keep the foliage happy.
πΎ Pet Safe: No. Begonias contain calcium oxalates and are toxic to cats and dogs if eaten, particularly the underground portions of the plant.
π Size: 4β nursery pot
π¦ Why we love it: No two leaves look quite the same. Itβs all the colour and drama of a flowering plant, except the foliage gets to show off all year.
Please note: Plants are living things, so each one is gloriously individual. Colour, pattern, size and fullness may vary slightly from the plant pictured.
