Begonia 'Marie Reed' - Welsh Grown

Light Thrives in bright, indirect light, but will tolerate some shade. Water Keep the soil moist, but ensure good drainage and don't allow to sit in water. Water when the top inch of soil is dry, and reduce watering in winter. Humidity Average household humidity is fine for this plant, but make sure it's not too close to a radiator as this will dry it out too much! Soil Plant in fast draining, but moisture retentive soil. A fertile mix with added coir or bark, or one designed for Syngoniums, would be ideal. This plant would also thrive in a terrarium, with terrarium soil. Repot once the plant and roots are crowding the pot. Food Feed 3-4 times throughout the growing season (usually May- September). Temperature Likes warmer temperatures above 20°C - don't keep somewhere where temperatures drop below 13°C in winter. Pet-safe No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans. Sprouts Top Tips Water directly into the soil, or bottom-water - these Begonias don't like getting their leaves wet.
