Begonia Manaus is a striking tropical plant known for its vibrant, textured foliage. The leaves are typically dark green with shades of burgundy or purple undersides and may feature intricate silver or light green speckles, giving them a sparkling, mosaic-like appearance. This eye-catching plant is perfect for indoor growers looking to add an exotic touch to their collection.
Water Requirements:
Begonia Manaus prefers evenly moist but well-draining soil. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, avoiding both overwatering and letting the soil dry out completely. High humidity is beneficial, so misting or using a humidifier will help keep its foliage lush.
Light Requirements:
This begonia does best in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain the vivid coloration on its leaves. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves, but too little light may reduce its color intensity.
Pet Safety:
Like many begonias, Begonia Manaus is considered toxic to pets due to calcium oxalates, which can cause irritation if ingested. It’s best to keep it out of reach of pets and small children.
