Begonia Foliage Rex Masoniana

The Begonia Rex 'Masoniana', also known as the Iron Cross Begonia, is a striking and eye-catching plant beloved for its bold, textured foliage. Its unique leaves feature a deep green base with a distinctive silvery, cross-shaped pattern at the centre, giving it a dramatic and ornamental look.

Key Features:

• Distinctive Leaves: The most notable feature of the Begonia rex 'Masoniana' is its large, heart-shaped leaves with a unique "iron cross" pattern in the centre. The leaves have a velvety texture and a mix of dark green, silver, and bronze hues.
• Compact Size: This variety grows to a manageable height of 20 to 35cm, making it an ideal choice for smaller spaces or as part of a larger plant collection.
• Low Maintenance: Despite its exotic appearance, Masoniana is relatively easy to care for, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again.
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity. Regular misting or a humidifier can help it thrive, especially in drier climates.
• Soil: A well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for begonias or houseplants, is ideal.
