Begonia Rex ‘Inca Flame’
 
Plant Look & Feel
Begonia Rex Inca Flame is pure drama in leaf form. Its broad, textured leaves swirl with fiery shades of deep red, copper, bronze, and dark green, often edged with shadowy undertones. The foliage has a velvety, almost metallic finish that catches the light beautifully, making every leaf feel hand-painted. Compact yet bold, this begonia brings warmth, colour, and artistic flair to any indoor space.

Troubleshooting
Fading colours:
Usually caused by low light. Move to a brighter, indirect spot.

Often low humidity or inconsistent watering. Increase humidity and water evenly.
Yellowing leaves:
Overwatering or poor drainage. Let soil dry slightly and check roots.
Leggy growth:
Indicates insufficient light. Increase brightness and pinch back growth if needed.
