Begonia Red Heart #9

The Begonia Red Heart is a beautiful Begonia variety. The deep red center on a Begonia Red Heart isn't just beautiful, it helps protect the leaf from intense light. The red pigments, called anthocyanins, act like a natural sunscreen, shielding the leaf while giving it its signature heart-like glow.

Care instructions

☀️ Bright, indirect light. Exposing it to direct (afternoon)light can cause sunburn to the leaves.  

💦🪴 Let the top 2-3 centimeters (or 20%) of the soil dry out before watering again.  Sitting in soaked soil too long can cause root rot. We prefer to use clear container pots so we can monitor the soil en roots.

💧Will thrive in a roomhumidity between 60-80%

🪴🧪 Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). During the winter dormancy period (winter and fall) the plant does not need to be fertilized (or it should be heavily diluted).
