Begonia ‘Lightning Strike’

Common Name: Lightning Strike Begonia
Origin: Hybrid variety

Description:
Begonia 'Lightning Strike' is a bold and electrifying addition to any plant lover’s collection. Its large, deeply lobed leaves are a deep olive green streaked with vivid chartreuse lightning-like veins, creating a dynamic, high-contrast effect. Each leaf seems hand-painted by nature, making this plant a true visual highlight.

This striking variety brings personality to any indoor space and thrives with a little extra humidity and consistent care. Under the right conditions, you may also enjoy its small pinkish blooms, though its dramatic foliage is the real star.

🌱 Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Too much direct sun may fade its stunning pattern.

• Water: Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry before watering. Avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage.

• Humidity: Loves moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray.

• Temperature: Best kept between 18°C and 26°C (65°F–79°F).

• Soil: Use a well-draining mix—potting soil with added perlite or coco coir works well.

• Fertiliser: Feed every 4–6 weeks in the growing season with a diluted balanced liquid fertiliser.

• Pet Friendly: ❌ No. Toxic to pets if ingested.
