Begonia 'Sunset Blaze' is a compact rhizomatous hybrid valued for its intense foliage colouring, often displaying a combination of red-orange, gold, and deep plum shades depending on light levels. The leaves are broadly ovate with pointed tips and feature a textured surface with fine serrations along the margins.
Care Tips:
Light: Bright, filtered light enhances leaf colour; avoid prolonged direct sun
Water: Allow top layer of soil to dry out between watering; avoid soggy conditions
Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity; dry air may cause leaf crisping
Media: Use a well-aerated mix with perlite, fine bark, and organic matter
Temperature: Prefers 18-24°C; protect from drafts and temperature drops
Fertiliser: Apply half-strength balanced fertiliser every 3-4 weeks during growth
Repotting: Repot in early spring if growth slows or pot becomes crowded
Additional Notes:
Known to be toxic
