Begonia rex 'Maui Sunset' is a cultivated hybrid belonging to the Begonia rex-cultorum group, valued for its multicoloured foliage that often reflects soft peach, rose, and silver tones. The leaves are broad and asymmetrical, frequently exhibiting a spiralled base and finely serrated margins. Pigmentation is typically strongest at the centre, with darker zoning or venation accentuating the contrast. Like other members of its group, it is descended from species native to humid, forested regions of the eastern Himalayas and southern China.
Care Tips:
Light: Bright, filtered light enhances leaf colour; avoid direct sun
Water: Water when the upper soil feels dry; keep evenly moist but not saturated
Humidity: Requires consistent humidity above 50%; dry air can damage leaf edges
Media: Well-drained mix with peat or coir, perlite, and fine bark
Temperature: Ideal range is 18–24°C; avoid cold conditions and rapid fluctuations
Fertiliser: Feed every 3–4 weeks in warmer months with a diluted balanced fertiliser
Repotting: Repot in spring once roots fill the container or rhizomes crowd the surface
Additional Notes:
Known to be toxic
