This exotic indoor foliage plant can be grown outdoors in subtropical to tropical climates, or indoors in zones 8-9. Prefers good light levels, and morning sun (avoid hot afternoon sun). Likes frost free climates with high humidity. Great well-lit bathroom plant. This ‘Sunburst’ clone has beautifully marked foliage in grey-green and Pinks.
Our tips for growing Rex Begonia (some people find them more difficult than other Begonias) are to avoid cold, wet and still conditions by:
- Growing Rex Begonias in bright morning light
- Only water when dry in winter and just bring back to moist, don’t leave sitting in water
- Water in morning so dryer again by evening
- Keep in areas where they get good air movement
- If you do have problems with Mildew spray foliage with a foliar fungicide like ‘Baycor’ or ½ tsp Bicarb of Soda in 500ml water.
Well-established plant in 7.5cm diameter pot. Not available to NT, WA, TAS, or overseas.
