Description:
Begonia hemsleyana 'Variegata' is a rhizomatous plant known for its striking variegated leaves with dark green and silver spots. It grows upright, reaching up to 2 feet, and thrives in bright, indirect light with high humidity. This begonia prefers slightly moist, well-draining soil and should be watered when the top two inches are dry. It is toxic if ingested by pets or humans. Regular pruning can encourage a fuller appearance, and it is susceptible to pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Overwatering may lead to root rot, while yellow leaves can indicate too much sunlight.
