Begonia Rex Jurassic™ Green Streak, Begonia Rex-cultorum
Begonia rex is one of the most beautiful and dramatic of the many Begonia types. Sometimes called painted-leaf begonias or fancy-leaf begonias, this Begonia Rex Jurassic™ Green Streak is grown for its stunning foliage of classic silvery green base with deep contrasting veination streaking from the blush center.
One of the easiest houseplants to care for but they will also let you know if their water or light conditions are a bit off. It is a semi-tropical evergreen, rhizomatous perennial with ideal daytime temperatures around 70º-75º to 60º at night. They do not tolerate temperatures below 50º. Can live happily outdoors during the warm months.
Thrives in bright indirect sun, be careful to keep it out of direct sunlight and rotate frequently to equally expose all sides. They thrive in humidity, but be careful if misting leaves so that they don't stay too wet, it's easy to add humidity by placing it over some water + pebbles in a tray. Temperatures below 60 degrees can cause the plant to wilt. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer weekly at quarter strength or half strength every two weeks except during the winter when plant growth slows.
Take care as begonias are toxic to cats and dogs. These lovely plants are easy, low maintenance.
