GardenersDream Begonia rex Ballroom Dance - King Begonia

• Latin Name: Begonia rex Ballroom Dance
• Common Name: Painted-Leaf Begonia, Fancy-Leaf Begonia, King Begonia
• Characteristics: The Begonia rex Ballroom Dance is an indoor plant with some amazing colours within the plants foliage. The main colour in the centre of each leaf is a very deep red, which is bordered by a silver-green border, with a very slim dark green outline around the very outer section of each leaf. This plant is a very effective air-purifier, therefore, it removes harmful pollutants and unwanted toxins from the air to create a fresher atmosphere in the room.
• Plant Advice: Begonia Rex Ballroom Dance should be placed in partial shade. This should be coupled with the avoidance of any direct sunlight as it will cause harmful leaf damage as time goes on. Watering should be carried out when the soil is dry to touch. This can be continued on a once-a-week basis throughout the year, until the Winter dormant period when these levels should drop to once every two weeks.

Rex Begonias, commonly known as King Begonia, are best known for their striking foliage. This Ballroom Dance variety is certainly no different, with the stunning deep red centre colour powering through to add great presence into the room it is placed in. The other colour amongst its foliage are a silver-green shade, with a dark green outlining to finish off the distinct appearance of this Rex Begonia. It is best to house these plants in an area of partial shade, therefore making homes, offices, window sills and other indoor spaces great options. King Begonia can utilise its air-purifying qualities to clean the air and get rid of any harmful pollutants and unwanted toxins to ensure that the area is fresh and stress-free. In placement, whilst partial shade is great, it is just as important to avoid contact with direct sunlight, so please keep this in mind. The plant should be watered once a week throughout the year, until the Winter dormant period when this can be lowered to once every two weeks.
