Begonia ‘Silver Jewels’

Common Name: Silver Jewel Begonia
Origin: Likely a hybrid, prized in tropical plant circles

Description:
Begonia ‘Silver Jewels’ earns its name with glittering silver-toned leaves that shimmer with a metallic finish under light. The heart-shaped foliage is outlined with subtle dark green veining, giving it an elegant, gem-like appearance.

This compact begonia is perfect for terrariums, tabletops, or shaded corners that need a little sparkle. With the right care, it can flower occasionally, but it’s the radiant foliage that steals the show.

🌱 Care Tips:

• Light: Thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun to protect the leaf finish.

• Water: Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering. Water sparingly in winter.

• Humidity: Prefers higher humidity; great for terrariums or humid rooms.

• Temperature: Ideal range is 18°C to 24°C (65°F–75°F). Avoid cold drafts.

• Soil: Well-aerated potting mix with peat, perlite, or orchid bark.

• Fertiliser: Apply diluted balanced fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during active growth.

• Pet Friendly: ❌ No. Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.
