Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

The glossy leaves of ‘Candy Queen’ enjoy brighter light than other Begonia rex, and given some sun she’ll reward with deeply divided foliage in a shocking pink which is held on short stems making a pleasingly tight rosette. In winter, small sprays of pink flowers are borne sporadically, adding further interest to this exotic looking house plant. Begonia rex hybrids are surprisingly easy houseplants grown for their brightly coloured and patterned foliage. Height: 35cm (14in). Spread: 30cm (12in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Position Begonia rex in a warm room away from cold draughts and radiators, with a constant temperature above 16C (60F). Begonia rex requires a bright but lightly shaded spot, well away from the direct glare of the sun.

Water Begonia rex plants freely between spring and autumn, allowing the pot to drain well after each watering. In winter, reduce watering but do not allow the compost to completely dry out. House plants should be fed regularly between March and September when they are in active growth. Begonia rex appreciates a humid atmosphere - stand it on a tray filled with pebbles and water. As the water evaporates it will increase humidity around the plant.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
