Begonia Amazon River

Begonia Beleaf 'Amazon River'®

APPEARANCE : Exotic foliage plant with large heart-shaped textured leaves, vibrantly patterned. 'Amazon River' has mature pale green-white foliage, with a maroon centre and deep green patterning around the edges. The colour will develop as the plant grows. 'Beleaf' Begonias are new varieties bred in the Netherlands by Koppe/Berghoef Plants.
USES: Popular houseplant in warm humid rooms. Striking hanging basket or container plant for summer. Ideal outdoor underplanting in shaded and semi-shaded tropical gardens.
PLANTING: Plant in a shaded or semi-shaded location with filtered light or indirect sunlight. Begonia rex appreciates a humid atmosphere so if the air is dry, give it a light mist spray with water..
CARE: Water lightly but regularly during the first 12 weeks or until the plant is established. Avoid over-watering or over-feeding Begonia rex. Apply liquid fertiliser at half dilution every 8 weeks for best results. Foliage may die back during the cooler months when plants become dormant. Avoid feeding and reduce watering until plants develop new leaves. Repot during spring only if plants become rootbound. Protect from frost.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 45 cm H x 45 cm W.
