Begonia rex 'Zumba

Begonia rex 'Zumba' is a colorful and attractive variety of Begonia rex, known for its decorative foliage. This plant is distinguished by its large, uniquely textured and patterned leaves, often displaying a vibrant mix of green, red, silver and sometimes touches of purple. The leaves often have a metallic or iridescent texture and striking patterns.

Origin: Begonias rex, including the 'Zumba' variety, are native to subtropical and tropical regions of East Asia. However, cultivated varieties such as 'Zumba' have been developed for their specific aesthetic qualities.
Growth: Moderate growth and can reach considerable size indoors. It is often used as a decorative houseplant, suited to windowsills and well-lit rooms.
Flowers: Although Begonia rex can produce flowers, they are generally less spectacular than the foliage and are not the plant's main attraction.
Light: Prefers bright indirect light. Too much direct light, especially in summer, can burn delicate leaves.
Watering: Requires regular watering. Avoid stagnant water to prevent root rot.
Substrate: A well-draining mix is ideal. A potting soil mix for indoor plants is recommended.
Temperature: Prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. Protect from extremely cold temperatures and draughts.
