{"product_id":"begonia-cleopatra-marc","title":"Begonia Cleopatra Marc","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking vision of lime-green foliage boldly marked with dark ticking along the edges, Begonia Cleopatra Marc showcases dramatic, irregularly shaped leaves. Each intricately patterned leaf displays a unique design reminiscent of a miniature work of art, creating a bold visual contrast that instantly draws the eye. Delicate, soft hairs fringing the leaf margins enhance the texture and add an extra layer of charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrown primarily for its extraordinary foliage, this compact, rhizomatous Begonia is commonly known as an Eyelash Begonia—a name that becomes obvious upon closer inspection. Perfect as a standalone feature plant, its unusual form and distinctive coloration make it a true conversation starter. Begonia Marc also excels when grouped with other indoor or potted plants, where its exceptional leaf patterning brings depth, visual interest, and an exotic flair 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":53828422271160,"sku":"P68BEGMAR","price":10.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/begonia-p68begmar-cleopatra-marc.jpg?v=1785381127","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/begonia-cleopatra-marc","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
