Begonia ‘Orococo’, the plant that says “Yes, I’m complicated… and gorgeous.” Those deeply textured, wavy leaves? Total statement. This isn’t just a plant—it’s a leafy piece of living art that brings drama and elegance to any indoor space.
 
Look
Large, deeply textured, wavy leaves with subtle bronze-green tones
Compact, bushy growth habit—perfect for tables, shelves, or plant stands
Petal-like, asymmetrical foliage gives it a sculptural, almost artistic vibe
Occasional delicate flowers may appear, but the leaves are the true star
 
Care
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal; too much direct sun will scorch those fancy leaves
Water: Keep soil slightly moist but never soggy; overwatering = sad, limp leaves
Soil: Well-draining, fertile potting mix
Humidity: Loves a humid environment; misting or pebble tray will keep her happy
 
Pet & Reptile Safe?
Pets: ⚠️ Not pet safe—can irritate cats and dogs if ingested
Reptiles: ⚠️ Decorative only. Safe as long as reptiles don’t nibble, but not for herbivorous or chewing species
 
Air Purifying
Slight air-purifying benefit, but this begonia is really all about the leaves
 
Troubleshooting
Leaf curling or wilting? Likely over or underwatering—check moisture
Brown edges? Too much sun or dry air
No flowers? Flowers are optional; the sculptural leaves are the main attraction
Yellowing leaves? Could be poor drainage or overwatering
 
Begonia ‘Orococo’ is fussy but fabulous—a sculptural, textured, leafy diva for your indoor jungle. Perfect for plant lovers who love drama and art in their greenery. Pet and reptile caution needed, but for humans? Pure delight.
