Begonia rex | 'Merry Christmas'

Meet Begonia rex 'Merry Christmas' — one of the most striking rex begonias you'll ever bring home. Named for its festive, jewel-toned foliage, this cultivar dazzles with deep burgundy and silver-green patterned leaves edged in rich red, making it a true collector's statement piece year-round.

Rex begonias are prized for their extraordinary leaf artistry rather than their blooms, and 'Merry Christmas' is no exception — each leaf is a miniature masterpiece. It thrives in bright indirect light and appreciates humidity, making it ideal for a well-lit bathroom, a pebble tray setup, or a plant shelfie with other tropical beauties.

• Light: Bright indirect light; avoid direct sun
• Water: Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry between waterings; avoid waterlogging
• Humidity: Prefers 50–70% humidity
• Soil: Well-draining, peat-free mix with added perlite
• Pet-friendly: No — toxic to cats and dogs if ingested

A rare find for the serious collector.
