Begonia rex 'Mini Silver' is a compact cultivar within the Begonia rex-cultorum group, known for its ornate foliage. This selection forms a small rosette of ovate to spiralled leaves with a silvery overlay across a green to dark maroon base, often featuring fine pink to red veining. Like others in the group, it descends from species native to humid forest understories of north-east India, southern China, and northern Myanmar.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun which may scorch leaves
Water: Allow upper soil to dry slightly between watering; sensitive to overwatering
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity; foliage may crisp in dry air
Media: Well-drained mix with organic matter; aroid or African violet blends suit well
Temperature: Keep between 16-24°C; avoid cold drafts and sudden changes
Fertiliser: Use half-strength balanced fertiliser during active growth every 2-4 weeks
Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years when growth becomes congested or roots fill the pot
