Begonia rex 'silver dollar'

This beautiful plant features large, asymmetrical leaves with a metallic silver sheen, intricate dark green veins, and burgundy-red undersides. Its velvety texture and serrated edges create an elegant and striking visual appeal.

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can fade the silver coloration and scorch the delicate leaves.
• Temperature: Maintain warm conditions with temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
• Humidity: Keep humidity levels between 50-60%. Use humidity trays or room humidifiers, but avoid misting directly on leaves to prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Water when the top inch of soil becomes dry. Ensure excellent drainage and avoid waterlogging. Use lukewarm water and water at soil level.
