Begonia rex ‘Red Kiss’ is a bold rex begonia cultivar with richly coloured, heart-shaped leaves in deep crimson red, edged with darker tones and subtle metallic sheen. The foliage forms a compact, layered mound, with dramatic colour that intensifies in good light. Grown entirely for its foliage, this variety brings strong contrast and texture to any indoor plant collection.
A popular choice among lovers of colourful and patterned begonias, ‘Red Kiss’ remains relatively compact and is well-suited to smaller pots and indoor displays.
Plant Care
Light: Likes bright indirect light.
Watering: These plants like to have moist soil all the time. They will let you know when they are thirsty as the whole plant will wilt but don't worry, give it a drink, and you will see those stunning leaves pop right back up again.
Temperature: 18-21°C These plants just want a steady, even temperature and high humidity
Potting: These plants like a well-draining and moisture-retaining mix. Our Thirst Trap mix is an excellent choice for this plant.
Hot tips: These plants love humidity but really can't tolerate a lot of moisture on their delicate leaves, so skip the misting and add in a pebble tray or place it with friends to up the humidity.
Pet Friendly: No
