Botanical description

Begonia rex is a species from Myanmar and Bhutan. Begonia 'Inca nights' is a hybrid that highlights all the colors.

Care.

It is a relatively easy-care houseplant. The most important thing is to give the leaf begonia a bright spot with indirect light, a temperature of up to 22 degrees Celsius and high humidity. However, remember that you should never shower the leaves! It is better to use a humidifier or place the pot on a tray with moist clay balls.

Water moderately when the top layer of soil has dried out. It thrives best in a light, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH. During the winter, begonias can sometimes lose all their foliage, but don't throw the plant away. The humid summer air often brings the plant back to life in all its glory. As long as the roots are alive, there is always a chance. Buy rexbegonia online!
