Begonia Arctic Breeze
Say hello to Begonia 'Arctic Breeze'—a real stunner with metallic-like foliage and a deep purple underside that makes it look like it’s glowing from within! Compact and easy to care for, this beauty brings a touch of drama to any space.
Where’s it from?
This cultivar is part of the Begonia rex group, originally found in the humid, forested regions of Assam, India, and Southeast Asia. It loves warmth and moisture—just like its jungle ancestors!
Watering
Keep the soil slightly moist, but don’t drown it—begonias hate soggy roots! Let the top layer dry out between waterings, and use lukewarm, low-lime water to keep it happy. In winter, slow down on watering when growth takes a break.
Light
Bright, indirect light is perfect! Too much sun? Leaves can scorch. Not enough? The colors might fade, and growth could get a bit leggy. An east or north-facing window is ideal.
Humidity
Loves moderate to high humidity—aim for 50–70%. If your home is on the dry side, try misting, a humidity tray, or a humidifier. Avoid placing it near radiators—dry air can make the leaf edges crispy!
Temperature
Keep things warm and steady—18°C to 24°C is perfect. Protect it from cold drafts and keep it above 15°C in winter to avoid stress.
Extra TLC
- Dust the leaves regularly—clean leaves mean better photosynthesis!
- Prune any brown or damaged leaves to keep it looking fresh.
- Feed it every few weeks in the growing season (spring to early autumn) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer for vibrant foliage.
