Begonia ‘Crackling Rosie’

A stunning foliage begonia prized for its dramatic blend of deep burgundy, silver, pink, and green tones. The intricate patterns across each leaf create an almost hand painted appearance, making every plant unique. This compact grower brings vibrant color and texture to shelves, terrariums, plant cabinets, and indoor collections. Like many rex type begonias, it is grown primarily for its spectacular foliage rather than its flowers, offering year round visual interest that easily becomes a focal point in any plant display.

🌞 Light
Bright indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the colorful leaves and fade their vibrant patterns.

💧 Watering
Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy.

🕳️ Soil
Use a light, well draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix containing perlite works well.

🧪 Fertilizing
Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

🪴 Repotting
Repot every 1 to 2 years or when the plant becomes crowded. Choose a container with good drainage.
