Begonia care guide
Begonia rex
Medium care⚠️ 🐾
Begonia (Begonia rex) does best when watered about every 4 days. It likes consistently moist (not soggy) soil, so check it every few days and never let it dry out fully.
Place it in bright indirect light. Humidity needs are high. The comfortable temperature range is 18–26°C. During the growing season, feed it about every 30 days.
Care difficulty: moderate.
⚠️ Pet safety: Begonia is toxic to cats and dogs. Soluble oxalates, especially the tubers. Keep it out of reach, and if your pet chews it, contact a vet.
