Begonia Evening Glow
If you’re after a bold, eye-catching Begonia, ‘Evening Glow’ is the one! Its crimson and grey foliage, streaked with dark veining, gives it a dynamic, almost glowing look—hence the name! Compact and easy to manage, it maxes out around 30cm tall and wide, making it perfect for small spaces.
Where’s it from?
This hybrid cultivar was designed to shine in indoor spaces! While its exact heritage is a mystery, it belongs to the Begonia genus, which includes species from tropical and subtropical regions worldwide.
Watering
Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy—Begonias like a steady water supply but hate wet feet! Water regularly during the growing season, and don’t let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
Light
Loves bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun? Leaves may scorch. Too little? The colors may lose their vibrancy. An east- or north-facing window is the perfect spot.
Humidity
This one’s a humidity lover! Keep the air around it nice and moist—misting, a humidifier, or even a terrarium setup will keep it happy. Dry air = crispy edges, so keep it away from radiators or heating vents.
Temperature
A big fan of warm, stable temps—18°C to 24°C is ideal. Keep it away from cold drafts and make sure it stays above 15°C to prevent stress.
Extra TLC
- Snip off spent flowers & leggy stems to keep it looking full and fresh.
- Feed it every few weeks in the growing season (spring to early autumn) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer for lush, vibrant foliage.
- Stable temperatures = happy plant! Avoid placing it in spots with constant temperature swings.
