Begonia 'Perlata-seraphine' care

Begonia 'Perlata-seraphine' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a vining spreader within its first year.

Give it low to medium light; leaf colour fades noticeably in darker spots. Water weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter. Yellowing lower leaves almost always mean too much, not too little.

Keep it at a pebble tray in heated rooms; pot it in a free-draining cactus-leaning mix and refresh the top layer each spring. Under good conditions it may flower indoors, though the foliage is the point.
