{"product_id":"begonia-cleopatra-antony","title":"Begonia Cleopatra Antony","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrown for its extraordinary foliage, this compact, rhizomatous Begonia is prized for its dramatic, irregularly shaped leaves—each one uniquely patterned like a miniature work of art. Begonia Cleopatra Antony features vibrant mid green leaves delicately adorned with rich chocolate-brown to russet highlights, creating a bold visual contrast that instantly draws the eye. The intricately patterned foliage is further enhanced by the delightfully soft hairs fringing each leaf, adding texture and charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommonly known as Eyelash Begonias—for obvious reasons when viewed up close—these striking foliage plants are perfect as a standalone feature, where their unusual form and coloration become a true conversation starter. Begonia Antony also shines when grouped with other indoor or potted plants, where its exceptional leaf patterning adds depth, interest, and an exotic touch to any plant display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for pots or containers, the Bowerae group of Begonias like similar conditions to the flowering type of Begonias. A bright indoor position, away from direct sunlight or a sheltered outdoor spot and a rich well drained soil are a must. Regular watering is essential but plants do not like to be waterlogged, and it is best if the delicate foliage is kept dry to avoid fungal diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreferring light humidity, Begonias appreciate regular watering, but do not let the plant become waterlogged as this will cause fungal issues and most likely death, particularly during Winter. In cooler climates, Begonia Rex may go dormant during Winter. Keep the soil reasonably dry by watering lightly every 4-6 weeks and the rhizomes should reshoot in Spring as the weather begins to warm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53828420796600,"sku":"P68BEGANT","price":10.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/begonia-p68begant-cleopatra-antony.jpg?v=1785381123","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/begonia-cleopatra-antony","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
