Lighting: Begonia rex plants thrive in bright, indirect light. They should be shielded from direct sunlight, which can scorch their colorful leaves. Consider filtered light or placing them in locations with dappled sunlight.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry, and be sure to use well-draining soil. Begonia rex prefers higher humidity, so misting the leaves or placing a tray of water nearby can be beneficial.

Temperature: Maintain a warm environment for Begonia rex, ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid exposing them to temperatures below 60°F (15°C) and protect them from drafts.

Fertilizing: Feed Begonia rex with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization during the dormant period in fall and winter.

TOXIC TO PETS: Begonia rex is generally considered toxic to pets if ingested. It contains compounds that can cause irritation and discomfort. Therefore, it is advisable to keep them away from pets or place them in areas inaccessible to curious animals.
