• Common names include Bull’s Eye Begonia & Begonia Red Ruby, referring to the bold, red dot at each leaf’s centre.
• Can produce clusters of small, pendulous, white flowers which contrast beautifully with its glossy, green foliage.
• Lets you know when it is thirsty by wilting and bounces back to shape when watered.

Growth pattern: Rhizomatous, clump-forming & bushy

Water: When the top 2-3cm of soil becomes dry. Do not allow water to sit on the leaves.

Ideal Position: North or east facing

Humidity disclaimer: This plant will grow well outside of a terrarium or cabinet. However, all tropical plants thrive with higher humidity levels. To achieve this we suggest grouping plants together, or putting them in a bathroom or kitchen which gets regular use.
