Begonia Dappled - Hieroglyphics

Information

This colourful begonia is one to add to any collection!   The contrasting dappled green and brown markings are incredibly effective—I haven't found another variety with such striking colours as this one.   It is a rhizomatous type and you'll notice small, noticeable hairs on the edges of the leaves, particularly when they are young and curled.

This isn't a huge growing variety; so far, the leaves on my plants have reached about 12 cm.  It also produces pretty, unscented pink flowers that stand nicely above the foliage, making them quite noticeable.

A wee note on shipping: I prefer to send out smaller Begonias because the larger leaves are so prone to damage during transit.   Receiving a smaller plant means you can pot it up and settle it easily into your space, ready for it to properly take off and thrive with you.

Kia ora!   Welcome to the dazzling, diverse world of Begonias.   You've hit the jackpot here—this family is massive, covering everything from the striking, spotted leaves of the Cane varieties to the vibrant, velvety swirls of the Rex types.

They come in such a big range—leaf colours, textures, climbers, or clumping types—it's impossible not to find something you love!

A quick heads-up on care: Most Begonias thrive in bright, indirect light and prefer their soil to be kept evenly moist, but definitely not soggy (they hate wet feet!).   If you avoid splashing the leaves and give them a bit of warmth, you're set for a real show.
