Begonia ferox

Begonia ferox

Begonia ferox Care:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; harsh direct sun will scorch leaves, while too little light leaves it dull.

• Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Keep the soil moist but not soggy, as it is prone to root rot.

• Humidity: Thrives in 60-80% humidity. Use a humidifier or pebble tray rather than misting, which can cause powdery mildew.

• Temperature: Thrives in 18-27ºC avoid cold drafts.

• Soil/Potting: Use a well-draining mix (e.g., houseplant mix with perlite). It prefers to be slightly root-bound, so choose a pot only slightly larger when repotting.
