Description
The Beleaf™ Arctic Breeze is a stunning cultivar of the Rex Begonia, prized for its striking foliage. With silvery-white leaves veined in deep green, this begonia adds a vibrant pop of colour to shaded areas. Its broad, textured leaves give it an exotic appearance, making it a beautiful addition to indoor settings or shady garden beds. This variety prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its unique colouring, making it ideal for indoor pot displays or shaded patio areas in Perth’s climate.
Beleaf™ Arctic Breeze is happiest in well-draining soil that retains some moisture but doesn’t stay too wet. Moderate watering is recommended, particularly in Djilba (Early Spring) and Kambarang (Late Spring) to support fresh growth. While it primarily stands out for its foliage, this plant may occasionally produce small, subtle blooms in soft colours. Keep this begonia in humid environments if possible, as it thrives with some extra humidity indoors or in shaded garden settings.
