Plant Care Guide
Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun. Avoid direct sunlight - it can scorch the leaves. Can tolerate moderate light indoors but colors may fade.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 1–2 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid water on leaves to prevent spots or rot.
Soil: Well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Add perlite or orchid bark for extra aeration.
Temperature: Best grown in temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Higher humidity helps maintain healthy foliage and vibrant leaf color.
Fertilizer: Feed with diluted balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring–summer.
Pruning & Maintenance: Remove dead or yellowing leaves regularly. Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when root-bound. Best in spring when growth resumes.
Tips: Keep away from direct sun and cold drafts. Rotate the plant for even growth and leaf exposure. Ideal for tabletops, shelves, and indoor plant displays.
Pet Safety: Begonias are considered toxic if ingested by pets or humans. Keep out of reach of curious pets and children.

Seasonal Care Tips
Spring
As light and growth increase, move your plant to a bright spot with indirect light. Resume watering when the top 2–5 cm of soil is dry and begin monthly fertilizing to support new growth.
Summer
Peak growing season. Water consistently as soil dries faster in the heat. Maintain elevated humidity and protect foliage from intense afternoon sun. Avoid temperatures above 30°C.
Fall
As daylight softens, find a stable warm spot away from cool windows and drafts. Gradually reduce watering and stop fertilizing. Some plants may shed older leaves as part of their natural cycle — this is normal.
Winter
Provide the brightest available indirect light and water sparingly once soil begins to dry. Maintain humidity and keep plants comfortably above 15°C. Avoid radiators, cold glass, and drafts. Do not fertilize until spring.
