Begonia Ferox-BF6
🪲 Each plant is carefully treated against unwanted pests.
🌿Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves, but ensure the plant receives sufficient light to maintain its vibrant foliage.
💦 Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering may cause the leaves to wilt.
3. Humidity: High humidity is essential for Begonia ferox. Aim for at least 60% humidity, and consider using a humidity tray, misting, or a humidifier if needed.
4. Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment between 18°C to 24°C (65°F to 75°F). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature drops.
5. Soil: Use well-draining, peat-based potting soil mixed with perlite or orchid bark for aeration. Begonias prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil.
Shipping
All plants are shipped with their roots wrapped in Sphagnum Moss, and plastic wrap to retain moisture for the root system. Foliage is then wrapped in a soft material, and then the whole plant is wrapped in isolation paper to secure the plant from movement in the box. Upon arrival to your home, check the roots for any signs of damage or rot. If rot appears, trim the affected roots with clean scissors or pruning shears, and plant into the new pot with the above specified growing media. We recommend waiting a day to water your new plant after repotting, as this will reduce the risk of root rot. Please note that yellowing or browning leaves could occur in transit.
