5 Care Tips for Begonia Rex ‘Cleopatrae’

Filtered Light Only
Avoid direct sunlight. Place in bright, indirect light to enhance leaf coloration and prevent leaf burn.

Gentle Watering Routine
Let the top layer of soil dry before watering. Always empty saucers to avoid standing water.

Maintain High Humidity
‘Cleopatrae’ demands 60%+ humidity. Use a humidifier or group it with other plants to raise local humidity.

Use Loose, Well-Draining Soil
A mix of peat, perlite, and orchid bark prevents compaction and supports the root system.

Keep It Stable
Avoid sudden changes in temperature or exposure to cold drafts. Keep it in a room with consistent warmth (18–24°C).
