Description

Begonia River Nile is a hybrid rhizomatous begonia selection that features chartreuse to lime green, spiraled leaves with dark red-brown, ruffled margins. The hairy leaf stems are succulent and pale yellow in color with contrasting red flecks. The leaves emerge from fleshy rhizomes that sit at the surface of the soil

Begonias enjoy lots of bright indirect light, but no direct sun. These can grow in artificial light like fluorescent, although experiences vary. Let the top of the soil dry before watering again. They enjoy a good soak, but need to dry out mostly between watering. They like warmer temperatures and should not be subjected to under 60 degrees. Although Begonias like humidity, they do not like being misted. Because of their textured surface, molds and mildew can form if the plant leaves are overly wet.
