{"product_id":"begonia-escargot","title":"Begonia Escargot","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrown for their amazing foliage, Begonia Escargot is one of the most popular 'Rex' type Begonias. This delightful specimen shows off beautiful silver \u0026amp; green foliage that has a unique spiral shape that curls around the base of the leaf as the plant matures. Perfect as a feature plant in it's own right as the unique coloration and shape make quite a statement; Begonia Escargot also makes a wonderful addition when placed amongst other indoor or potted plants due to the complementary colours of the foliage. Immature leaves and the undersides of the foliage are tinged with red, giving this plant beautiful tonings and contrast when matched with other coloured foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for pots or containers, the Rex 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, Begonia Rex 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":"50mm Pot","offer_id":53828183916728,"sku":"LPOBEGESC","price":9.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/begonia-lpobegesc-escargot-p68begesc.jpg?v=1785381137","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/begonia-escargot","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
