Begonia 'Aurora' care

Collectors know Begonia 'Aurora' for its steady pace; it keeps a slow climber even in imperfect corners.

It does best in morning sun with afternoon shade, though it tolerates brief departures without sulking. Water when the top third of the mix is dry. Yellowing lower leaves almost always mean too much, not too little.

Aim for occasional misting in dry rooms and use a chunky aroid mix — roots here want air as much as water. Under good conditions it may flower indoors, though the foliage is the point.
