Semi-tropical perennial plant known for its large variegated leaves that are brightly colored green, silvery, and red.

Not safe for pets; plants are toxic if ingested.
 
All of our Begonia Rex plants come from a mother plant that was originally sourced in San Antonio, Texas.
 
CARE
Our varieties are established using a custom soil blend of organic matter and compost.
 
Thrives in tropical, partial sun conditions and warm climates.
 
 
Recommended to check soil before watering, by sticking a finger into the pot about ½” and watering based on moisture. This plant loves moist soil. The smaller the pot, the more frequent the watering, and the larger the pot, the less frequent. When watering, thoroughly soak the plant at the soil level, letting the excess water drain through the drainage hole. And, be conscious of the season; for example, watering more frequently during the summer and less frequently during winter/dormant period. 
 
 
We recommend the plant should change pots when the roots become rootbound in the container (i.e. coming out of the drainage hole, etc.). When upsizing pots, make sure to check the roots, trimming off any unhealthy or dead roots. You can upsize the pot up to two pot sizes as any larger will stress the plant and roots out. We also suggest an organic or natural fertilizer at least twice a year. 

Recommended to water 2-3 times per week, making sure the soil is always moist and does not dry out. Also can provide additional humidity to plant (a greenhouse environment is best), which will prolong plant life. Plants cannot survive in under 60 degree Fahrenheit temperatures and prefer partial or indirect light.
 
EXTRA CARE
Recommend to also provide additional humidity to the plant or keep it in a terrarium-like environment where it will best thrive.
