They are easy to care for, requiring regular but moderate watering and light feeding during the growing season. Their compact size and low-maintenance nature make them ideal for indoor spaces, shaded patios, or as underplanting in sheltered garden beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreferring light humidity, Begonia Rex types 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":53828421189816,"sku":"P68BEGFST","price":10.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/begonia-p68begfst-forest-stream.jpg?v=1785381140","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/begonia-forest-stream","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
