Begonia Rex ‘Galaxy Escargot’

Begonia Rex ‘Galaxy Escargot’ enchants with its dark, spiral leaves dusted in silvery-white speckles, resembling a night sky filled with stars. The spiral center draws the eye inward like a cosmic vortex, while the deep emerald tones add depth and richness beneath the shimmering silver. Each leaf is a miniature galaxy — mysterious, elegant, and endlessly captivating.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the delicate leaves.

• Temperature: Ideal range is 18–26°C (65–78°F). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.

• Humidity: Enjoys high humidity (50–70%). Use a pebble tray or humidifier to maintain moisture in the air.

• Soil: Use a well-draining mix such as peat moss with perlite or coco coir. Avoid compact soil.

• Fertilizer: Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season with a diluted balanced fertilizer.

• Maintenance: Remove faded or damaged leaves regularly to encourage healthy new growth.

• Repotting: Refresh soil and repot annually in spring if the plant becomes root-bound.
