Begonia “Pop Rocks” is a dazzling hybrid begonia known for its playful, candy-like foliage. The heart-shaped leaves shimmer with a deep burgundy to emerald base, scattered with iridescent pink and silver speckles that resemble tiny bursts of sparkling candy. In natural daylight, the plant glows with rich green and red hues, while in lower light, its leaves reveal a striking turquoise sheen — almost like a hidden layer of magic.
Care Tips:

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