Features:

  • Historic European Hybrid: Originated in the late 1800s from ‘Eldorado’ × B. incarnata, representing a classic heritage begonia.

  • Velvety Foliage: Deep red-purple leaves with fine hairs create a soft, luxurious look and texture.

  • Elegant Flowers: Hanging clusters of vivid pink blooms contrast beautifully with the dark foliage.

Care Tips:

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

  • Watering: Water when the top 2 inches (≈ 5 cm) of soil feel dry. Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy, ensuring good drainage to prevent root rot.

  • Temperature: Thrives between 45°F–95°F (7–35°C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (40%–60%). Regular misting or the use of a humidifier helps maintain optimal moisture levels.

  • Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during the growing season to encourage strong growth and flowering.
