Begonia, Autumn Embers

$4.00

Begonia Autumn Ember is a rhizomatous begonia hybrid that is a cross between Begonia ‘Marmaduke’ and Begonia ‘Angel Glow.’ 'Autumn Ember' shows the brightest orange leaf colouring we have ever seen, especially on juvenile leaves. The colour is almost neon!

Begonia Autumn Ember leaf coloration depends on the light levels. The older leaves will eventually fade and soften in colour.

Begonia Autumn Ember is well suited to a  bright, indirect light position with medium humidity  and temperatures between 12-25 degrees. A medium draining substrate should be used to allow the plant to never fully dry out between watering.
