It is a cultivated variety of Begonia rex, a popular group of ornamental houseplants known for their striking and intricately patterned foliage. 'Helen Lewis' features large, dramatic leaves with eye-catching silver patterns and dark, metallic edges. This begonia variety is appreciated for its unique and vibrant appearance, making it a sought-after choice among plant enthusiasts for adding a touch of exotic elegance to indoor spaces. Begonia rex plants thrive in bright, indirect light and require consistently moist soil to maintain their lush, colorful foliage.
The packaging was really great, my only complaint is the plant is definitely way smaller than what I was expecting. In comparison to the offered photo and price I wish I would have known the plant was going to be so small before I purchased
I ordered four Vandas with Ecuagenera and all of them were beautiful and healthy, with plenty of long silvery plump roots. They have no bloom spikes yet, but hopefully soon. Thank you.
I gave my purchase 3 stars only because prior purchases were ok. This purchase was in very bad shape however. Packed well for shipping, but it was like putting lipstick on a pig. Hopefully I can help this purchase recover.
