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.
