Begonia Stormy Sunset 8” HB

Begonia 'Stormy Sunset' is a dramatic cane begonia prized for its deeply textured, angel-wing foliage — dark olive-green leaves splashed with silver spotting above, and rich burgundy-red undersides that glow in low light. When in bloom, cascading clusters of coral-to-salmon flowers emerge in abundance, making it as floriferous as it is architectural. A collector's statement piece that thrives indoors with minimal fuss.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright indirect light; tolerates lower light but blooms best near an east- or north-facing window. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Allow good drainage — begonias are susceptible to root rot in soggy conditions.
• Humidity: Prefers 50–60% humidity. Avoid misting directly on leaves; use a pebble tray or humidifier instead.
• Temperature: 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and heating vents.
• Soil: Well-draining mix with perlite (e.g., 60% potting mix / 40% perlite).
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during the growing season (spring–fall). Reduce in winter.
• Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years in spring when roots fill the pot.
• Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of animals and children.
