It is a semi-tropical perennial plant known for its large variegated leaves. Provide rex begonias with plenty of bright, indirect sun, but keep them out of direct sunlight. Keep the plant moist, but avoid overwatering; allow the soil to dry partially between waterings.  Place the plant in an area with temperatures between 60 and 70 degrees. Use a porous potting mix in a relatively shallow pot. As a houseplant, rotate frequently to expose it to equal light on all sides. NOTE: Images are only for representation.
