Begonia Rex (Painted Leaf Houseplant with Striking Foliage)

Begonia Rex – Painted Leaves with Striking Colour and Texture

The Begonia Rex, also known as the Painted Leaf Begonia, is a captivating houseplant that brings drama and vibrancy to any indoor space. Standing at approx. 20–30cm tall and potted in a 12cm nursery pot, it’s perfectly sized for shelves, desks, or side tables. Its striking foliage features bold patterns and a rich palette of colour – from deep purples and velvety reds to shimmering silvers and soft pinks – creating a display that feels more like living art than a houseplant. The heart-shaped and scalloped leaves add sculptural elegance, making this begonia a true statement piece for the home.

Not just beautiful, Begonia Rex is also easy to propagate, making it a wonderful choice for those looking to expand their collection or share cuttings with friends. Perfect for plant lovers who want style, personality, and a touch of the extraordinary in their greenery.

Please Note
This Begonia Rex comes in a 12cm natural plastic nursery pot.

Choosing the Right Decorative Pot
To give your plant the perfect fit, you’ll need to select a decorative pot separately. As a general rule, go one size up from the nursery pot. For example, if your plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot, choose a decorative pot with an internal diameter of around 13–15cm for the best fit.
