Plant Look & Feel

Begonia Autumn Ember glows with the quiet warmth of falling leaves and late afternoon light. Its richly textured foliage is layered in shades of copper, bronze, deep red, and olive green, often finished with darker veining and a soft, velvety surface. Each leaf feels painterly and alive, shifting in tone as the light moves. Compact yet expressive, this begonia brings a sense of warmth, depth, and seasonal beauty to any indoor space.
 

Care Guide

Light:

  • Bright, indirect light is ideal

  • Too much direct sun can scorch or fade the foliage

  • Low light may dull colour intensity

Water:

  • Water when the top layer of soil feels dry

  • Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy

  • Avoid water pooling in the crown or on leaves

Humidity:

  • Prefers moderate to high humidity

  • Thrives in kitchens, bathrooms, or near a humidifier

Temperature:

  • Best grown between 18–26°C

  • Protect from cold drafts, heaters, and sudden temperature changes

Soil:

  • Light, well-draining potting mix

  • Coco peat with perlite and fine bark works beautifully
     

Pet & Reptile Safety

⚠️ Not pet or reptile safe

  • Begonias are toxic to cats, dogs, and reptiles if ingested

  • Can cause irritation, drooling, and digestive discomfort

  • Keep out of reach of pets and away from reptile enclosures
     

Quick Care Tips

  • Bright indirect light keeps colours rich and glowing

  • Allow soil to dry slightly between watering

  • Higher humidity prevents crispy edges

  • Rotate occasionally for balanced growth
     

Troubleshooting

Fading colours:

  • Usually caused by low light. Move to a brighter, indirect position.

Crispy or browning edges:

  • Often low humidity or inconsistent watering. Increase humidity and water evenly.

Yellowing leaves:

  • Overwatering or poor drainage. Let soil dry slightly and check root health.

Drooping leaves:

  • Can result from underwatering or temperature stress. Check soil moisture and room conditions.
