5 Care Tips for Begonia Rex ‘Red Kiss’

Bright, Indirect Light
Place in filtered light to maintain vibrant red hues. Avoid direct sun, which can fade or damage the foliage.

Controlled Watering
Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry between waterings. Use room-temperature water and avoid wetting the leaves.

High Humidity Needed
Aim for 50–60% humidity. Place near other plants or use a tray with water and pebbles to increase local moisture.

Well-Draining Potting Mix
Use a light, breathable soil blend with peat and perlite. Good drainage is key to preventing root rot.

Avoid Temperature Fluctuations
Keep in a consistent environment, ideally 18–24°C. Protect from drafts and heaters to avoid stress.
