Plan your care
This is the foliage begonia Begonia masoniana, rather than one of the flowering colour variants in the Indoor collection. Choose it for the textured leaves and give those leaves space to remain undamaged.
Keep the pot away from cold glass and leave airflow around the foliage. If an older leaf deteriorates, inspect new leaves and the root-zone moisture before changing the entire care routine.
Growing tips
Water at compost level, allowing the surface to begin drying between waterings. Keep leaves clear of cold glass and avoid a closed, wet display with little air movement.
