    Care Guide for Begonia Rex ‘Salsa’

     

    Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Too little light may dull the vibrant colors.

     

    Watering: Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

     

    Humidity: Prefers high humidity (50%+). Use a humidity tray or mist occasionally, but avoid getting water directly on the leaves to prevent fungal issues.

     

    Soil: Use a light, well-draining potting mix, such as peat-based soil with added perlite or orchid bark.

     

    Temperature: Ideal temperatures are 18-24°C (65-75°F). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

     

    Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.

     

    Propagation: Can be propagated by leaf cuttings or division. Cut a healthy leaf, place it in moist soil, and keep humidity high.

     

    Toxicity: Toxic to pets if ingested due to oxalates in the leaves and roots.

     

     

    Rex Begonias like ‘Salsa’ are grown for their dramatic, textured leaves rather than flowers.
