Begonia Rouge Variegated
If you’re after a begonia that brings mystical, ethereal vibes, Begonia Rouge Variegated is the one! Its silvery-green leaves are brushed with a soft, hazy pink, giving it a dreamy, otherworldly look. A true statement piece for any plant lover!
Watering
Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy—let the top inch dry out before watering. Too much water = root rot, so good drainage is key! Water more often in spring and summer, then ease up in winter when growth slows.
Light
Loves bright, indirect light! Too much harsh sun? The leaves can scorch. Too little? The colors may fade. A north- or east-facing window is perfect for keeping its dreamy hues intact.
Humidity
Begonias love humidity, and Māori Haze is no exception. Mist it, use a humidity tray, or pop it near a humidifier to keep those delicate leaves happy. Avoid dry air—crispy edges are a sign it needs more moisture!
Temperature
Thrives in a warm, stable environment (18°C to 24°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and don’t let it dip below 15°C in winter.
Extra TLC
- Trim off any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep it looking fresh.
- Feed every few weeks in the growing season (spring to early autumn) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser for healthy, vibrant growth.
- Repot every 1–2 years to refresh the soil and give the roots room to breathe.
