Begonia Escargot 'green'
A rhizomatous Begonia with large, orbicular leaves featuring the iconic snail-shell spiral at the base, a bullate-velvety surface with fine ciliation along the undulate margins, and a compact, low-growing habit. The 'green' form presents a uniformly rich foliar tone that highlights the sculptural texture and spiral structure of each leaf.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–70% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the textured leaf surface and fade the foliar pattern.
- Temperature: 60–80°F (16–27°C); a warm to intermediate grower that performs best with stable temperatures and no cold drafts.
- Humidity: 50–70%; moderate to high humidity supports healthy leaf expansion; avoid misting directly on the leaves to prevent fungal spotting.
- Watering: Water at the base when the top layer of substrate begins to dry; never allow roots to sit in standing water and avoid wetting the foliage.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a well-draining mix of perlite, bark, and coco coir in a shallow pot suited to its rhizomatous habit. Shipped as a well-established plant, ready to pot or repot upon arrival.
