Begonia ‘Hozukimaru’ is a striking foliage begonia with maple-like leaves that range from deep burgundy to vibrant orange-red. The surface is slightly uneven with bold, wavy edges, and the foliage is thick and firm, giving the plant a dramatic presence. In spring and summer, it produces delicate blooms, though it is mainly prized for its vivid ornamental leaves.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun which may scorch the leaves.

  • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch to dry slightly before watering again.

  • Humidity: Prefers high humidity (50–70%). Use a humidifier or place on a pebble tray if air is dry.

  • Temperature: Thrives in 18–26 °C (65–78 °F); protect from drafts and cold below 15 °C (60 °F).

  • Soil: Well-draining, airy soil mix (peat + perlite recommended).

  • Fertilizer: Feed monthly during growing season with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.

  • Pruning: Remove dead or yellowing leaves to encourage healthy growth.

  • Potting: Repot every 1–2 years in spring when rootbound.
