Begonia Miss Muffy

Begonia 'Miss Muffy' is a charming compact rhizomatous Begonia with a big personality — featuring richly textured, deep green leaves with a velvety surface and contrasting dark markings that give it a bold, jewel-like presence. A low-maintenance collector's favorite that thrives indoors with minimal fuss.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright to medium indirect light. Tolerates lower light better than many Begonias, but thrives with a bright, filtered window. Avoid direct sun, which scorches the delicate foliage.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Rhizomatous Begonias are drought-tolerant and highly susceptible to root rot — err on the side of underwatering. Never let roots sit in standing water.
• Humidity: Moderate humidity (40–60%) is ideal. Avoid misting leaves directly; use a pebble tray or humidifier if needed.
• Temperature: 60–80°F (15–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F.
• Soil: Light, well-draining mix with added perlite. Shallow, wide pots suit the rhizomatous root system best.
• Fertilizer: Diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 3–4 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce or stop in winter.
• Repotting: Every 2 years or when the rhizome outgrows the pot. Prefers wide, shallow containers over deep pots.
• Toxicity: Toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.

Compact, characterful, and effortlessly elegant — Miss Muffy is the perfect addition to any curated indoor plant collection.
