Begonia ‘Carnival’

Begonia ‘Carnival’ is a stunning rex begonia cultivar admired for its dramatic foliage. The broad, asymmetrical leaves display a mesmerizing mix of deep purple, silvery white, and vibrant green patches, often highlighted by soft pink tones near the veins. The surface of the leaves has a slightly textured, almost iridescent sheen, giving the plant a luxurious and artistic appearance.

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch feels dry. Avoid getting water on the leaves.

• Humidity: Prefers high humidity (above 50%). Mist occasionally or use a humidifier.

• Temperature: Thrives in 18–24°C (65–75°F). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

• Soil: Use a well-draining mix—peat-based soil with perlite or orchid bark works best.

• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Maintenance: Remove yellow or damaged leaves and keep the environment stable for best growth.
