Rex Begonia Kotobuki (Begonia rex 'Kotobuki')

Kotobuki is foliage as jewellery - swirling spirals of silver, plum and near-black across every leaf, so intricate that no two are alike. Rex begonias are the painted queens of the shade bench, and this is one of the richest.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Rex Begonia Kotobuki

✔ Painted foliage - metallic silver swirled with deep plum and charcoal on every leaf.

✔ Compact rosette - a neat 25-35cm mound ideal for benches and shelves.

✔ Colour without flowers - the display never takes a season off.

✔ Shade lover - made for bright rooms and sheltered verandahs.

✔ Easy from leaf cuttings - one plant can become a collection.

🏡 How to Use Rex Begonia Kotobuki in Your Garden

✅ Statement pots indoors - a living artwork for coffee tables and desks.

✅ Shaded verandah benches - grouped with ferns for a lush display - the packs of six build an instant collection.

✅ Terrarium features - thrives in the humidity of larger open terrariums.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Bright indirect light, no direct sun; warm and humid suits it best, always frost-free.
  • Spacing: One per pot; 30cm apart in shaded beds in warm climates.
  • Best Planting Time: Any time indoors; spring to summer outdoors in the subtropics.
  • Watering & Care: Water when the top of the mix dries, keeping water off the leaves. Good airflow prevents mildew; feed monthly in the warmer months at half strength.

❔ FAQs About Rex Begonia Kotobuki

Why are the leaves crisping at the edges?
Air is too dry. Sit the pot on a pebble tray with water, group plants together, and keep it away from heaters and hot draughts.

Does it die down in winter?
Rex begonias can rest and drop some leaves in cold months. Ease off watering; fresh leaves unfurl in spring.

How do I propagate it?
Lay a healthy leaf flat on moist mix, nick the main veins, and baby plants sprout from the cuts within weeks in warm weather.
