Begonia Listada - Velvet Striped Begonia

Velvet Striped Begonia
Begonia Listada

The Begonia Listada is a velvet leaved beauty that’s impossible to ignore. With its deep, velvety green foliage striped with a bold, lime green central vein and rich burgundy undersides, it brings an instant touch of drama to your indoor jungle.

✨ Why we love it:

🌱 Luxurious velvety leaves with a striking lime green stripe
🌱 Rich burgundy undersides for a two tone effect
🌱 Compact growth makes it perfect for shelves or desktops
🌱 A collector’s favourite that feels truly exotic
🌱 Adds texture, depth, and personality to your plant collection

💡 Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch its velvety leaves, while too little light may cause the colour contrasts to fade.

💧 Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly before watering again.

🌱 Humidity: Loves higher humidity. Place it near a pebble tray, in a group of plants, or close to a humidifier to keep it thriving.

🌡️ Temperature: Prefers warmth, ideally 18-28 °C. Protect from cold draughts and avoid sudden temperature changes.

🚫 Toxicity: Toxic if ingested, best kept out of reach of pets and children.

🌿 Top Tip: Avoid misting directly onto the velvet leaves as it can cause spotting. Instead, raise humidity around the plant to keep its foliage flawless and vibrant.
