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

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.
