Lil' Begonia Listada

The Lil' Begonia Rex Listada baby plant is no ordinary house plant, it's a Prickle Rex plant. This Begonia Rex diva is a masterclass in decadence. Its leaves feel like velvet and the undersides are coloured rich mahogany. This Brazilian beauty likes to feel at home, so keep it in a terrarium or an enclosed space. Your kitchen or bathroom makes for a good home thanks to its humidity. Be sure to water it little and often with lukewarm water - we can't say we blame it here - nobody likes being cold and wet. Place it in the shade in temperatures of between 15-27°C (minimum 10°C) and no drafts.

When your Lil' Begonia Listada first arrives it may feel a little out of sorts and shed some leaves, but don't worry this fast-growing Lil' Prick will recover in no time, just give it a month or so to settle in. While we're sure you and your Lil’ Begonia Rex Listada will become fast friends, we can't say the same for your little Pricklettes as it can be toxic if ingested, so be sure to keep it out of reach of pets and curious little fingers.
