Begonia Rex Dark Mambo

These plants love a bit of drama, but their foliage is worth it, as the colours are a real stunner. This plant will let you know when it's not happy with full-on leaf wilt, hence why they can be so dramatic, but if you sort out the issue, it will perk right back up again.

Plant Care 

Light: Likes bright light but can deal with a bit of lower 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
