Begonia rex ‘Fireworks’

Begonia rex ‘Fireworks’
Family: Begoniaceae
Begonia rex ‘Fireworks’ is a dramatic rex begonia cultivar prized for its bold, spiraled leaves patterned with deep purple, silver, and bright pink highlights radiating from the center like an explosion. Its compact, rhizomatous growth habit makes it a standout foliage plant for indoor displays.
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun which can scorch leaves and dull coloration.
💧 Water: Every 7–10 days; keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Allow the surface to dry slightly between waterings.
🌾 Fertilizer: Feed every 3–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer at half strength.
🪴 Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when rhizomes outgrow the pot; use a well-draining, airy mix (peat or coco coir + perlite).
🌿 Tip: Prefers high humidity with good airflow; water at the soil level to avoid leaf spotting and fungal issues.
