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.
