Rex Begonia

Rex Begonia, commonly known as Rex Begonia or Painted-Leaf Begonia, originates from tropical regions of Asia, particularly India and Myanmar.

Care tips for Rex Begonia include:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Consider using a humidity tray or misting the plant.

Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures, ideally between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C).

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally formulated for houseplants or a mix of peat and perlite.

Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

Regularly check for pests and provide good airflow around the plant to prevent fungal issues.
