Begonia rex is an ornamental indoor plant known for its large, decorative leaves, characterized by spectacular shades of green, silver, red, and purple. Native to tropical Asia, it prefers bright environments without direct sunlight, mild temperatures, and constant humidity. Elegant and dramatic, it is ideal for adding a touch of color and originality to your home.

 

Characteristics

Begonia rex prefers bright but diffused light, avoiding direct sunlight, which could damage its delicate leaves. It's ideal for placement in bright spaces, but filtered by light curtains. It's an evergreen ornamental plant that maintains its appeal year-round. However, its peak growth period occurs in spring and summer, when it develops new, vibrant, colorful leaves. Native to tropical regions of India and Southeast Asia, Begonia rex loves warm, humid conditions, reminiscent of its natural habitat.
