Begonia Rex 'Escargot'

Begonia rex ‘Escargot’ is one of the most visually captivating begonias, prized for its dramatic spiral leaves that resemble a snail shell. The foliage features bold silver tones with deep green edges, creating a striking contrast that instantly elevates any indoor space. Originating from tropical regions of Asia, rex begonias are grown for their foliage rather than flowers, making this variety a true collector favorite for its artistic, almost hypnotic pattern.

Light 🌞

Prefers bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves and fade the coloration.

Watering 💧

Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Allow the top portion of the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Soil 🌱

Use a light, well draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix designed for indoor tropical plants works well.

Fertilizing 🌿

Feed once a month during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer. Reduce feeding in cooler months.

Repotting 🪴

Repot every one to two years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a pot with good drainage.
