✨ Begonia ‘Silver Jewel’
Common name: Silver Jewel Begonia Type: Rhizomatous perennial Origin: Cultivar, not native Vibe: Miniature moonlight with a velvet finish
🌟 Product Description
Begonia ‘Silver Jewel’ is a compact rhizomatous variety grown for its stunning foliage. Heart-shaped leaves shimmer in metallic silver, etched with dark green rays that radiate from the center like a starburst. The surface is finely puckered and covered in tiny hairs, giving it a soft, glistening texture.
Perfect for pots, terrariums, or shaded shelves, this begonia adds a touch of silver sophistication to any plant collection. Bonus: it produces delicate cream-colored flowers in winter, like little pearls against the foliage.
🌿 Care Guide: Keep Your Jewel Gleaming
| Care Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Light | Partial shade or bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun—it fades the silver and scorches the leaves. |
| Water | Let soil dry slightly between waterings. Likes moisture but not sogginess. Overwatering = root rot risk. |
| Humidity | High humidity (60–80%) preferred. Ideal for terrariums or grouped with other humidity-loving plants. |
| Temperature | Thrives at 18–22°C. Protect from frost and cold drafts. |
| Soil | Rich, well-draining mix. Loam with added perlite or orchid bark works well. |
| Feeding | Monthly during growing season with diluted liquid fertilizer. |
| Growth Habit | Clump-forming and compact. Reaches 20–30 cm tall and wide. |
| Flowering | Creamy-white blooms from February to May. |
| Toxicity | Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Handle with care. |
