Begonia Rex 'Reunion

Begonia Rex 'Reunion' is a variety of Begonia rex famous for its spectacular, decorative foliage. This houseplant is particularly prized for its large, colorful leaves, which feature a vibrant color palette ranging from green and red to purple, often with metallic or silver accents. The patterns and textures of 'Reunion' foliage make this variety a popular choice for adding a touch of exoticism and color to interior spaces.

Origin: Begonias rex are native to the subtropical and tropical regions of East Asia. The 'Reunion' variety, like many other Begonia rex cultivars, has been selected for its unique ornamental characteristics.
Growth: Begonia Rex 'Reunion' has a moderate growth habit and forms a compact bush, making it ideal for pot cultivation. It can grow to an appreciable size as a houseplant, but generally remains manageable.
Flowers: Although Begonia Rex can produce flowers, they are often considered less spectacular than the foliage and are not the plant's main attraction.
Light: Prefers bright indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Intense direct light can cause leaf burn.
Watering: Requires regular watering, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Avoiding standing water is crucial to prevent root rot and other fungal problems.
Substrate: A well-draining mix is essential. A mixture of potting soil for houseplants, enriched with perlite or peat moss, works well to ensure good root aeration.
Temperature: Prefers moderate to warm temperatures and high humidity. Protect from extremely cold temperatures and draughts.
Toxicity: Non-toxic plant.
