CUIDADOS<\/strong>
Light<\/strong>: Likes indirect light; avoid direct exposure to strong sun. Keep the soil slightly moist, watering when the top layer is dry. Avoid waterlogging the soil, as water build-up can damage the roots. Begonia Rex also likes high-humidity environments, so mist the leaves regularly with water.
Temperature<\/strong>: 18\u201319 \u00baC is ideal. It doesn\u2019t tolerate very low temperatures, so keep it indoors.
Watering<\/strong>: Likes moderate watering, but won\u2019t tolerate excess water (watch out for standing water in saucers or decorative pots without drainage holes, although you can place them on gravel or pebbles to keep steady humidity levels). Let the soil dry out between waterings.
Fertilization:<\/strong> Fertilize the plant monthly during spring and summer, using a diluted liquid fertilizer. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the correct dosage and provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.
Soil<\/strong>: Light, free-draining substrate, slightly moist and rich in nutrients.
Pruning<\/strong>: Remove old leaves at the base to keep air circulating and prevent fungus.<\/p>\n

Not pet-friendly<\/strong>: Begonia Rex can be toxic to pets if ingested. Therefore, it is important to keep the plant out of reach of dogs, cats and other pets.<\/p>\n

Fun facts<\/strong>: Besides its stunning beauty, Begonia Rex is valued for its ability to improve air quality by removing toxins and purifying the environment. Its exotic, showy leaves make it a popular choice for those looking for a touch of eccentricity in their decor.<\/p>\n
