Maintenance guide

Begonia Rex Shadow King® ‘Lava Red’

Easy to grow, but it thrives with regular care! Here’s how to give it the best conditions:

Light

Begonia Rex Shadow King Lava Red prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun may scorch its colorful foliage, but good lighting enhances its fiery tones.

Watering

Water regularly but moderately, allowing the soil surface to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid standing water to protect its delicate roots.

Nutrition

Fertilize every 2 to 3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer to maintain strong foliage and enhance its red and burgundy colors.

Trim and care

Remove damaged leaves to stimulate new growth and keep the plant dense and vibrant.
