The "Autumn Ember" is a striking variety of Rex Begonia, known for its fiery, coppery-orange foliage that brings a warm glow to any indoor space. Unlike the more common pinks and purples seen in Rex Begonias, this stunner stands out with a rich copper-orange hue giving it a truly unique appearance. Its stems are sort and fibrous, with a spreading habit that makes it ideal for tabletops or as a statement piece in terrariums.
CARE:
- Prefers bright, indirect light. Can benefit from some direct morning sun, but harsh afternoon rays may scorch the leaves.
- Can still grow in lower light conditions but the colours may become less vibrant.
- Avoid letting water sit on the leaves, as this can lead to fungal issues.
- Does best in a high-humidity setting.
- Avoid exposing the plant to drafts as it is very sensitive to cold.
- Water when the first 1-2 inches of soil is dry to maintain slightly moist but not soggy soil.
