Begonia Maurice – Speckled Foliage with Metallic Sheen

Begonia Maurice Care & Growing Conditions

Thrives in Bright Indirect Light

This variety does best in bright, filtered light and can tolerate a touch of gentle morning sun. Avoid harsh afternoon rays, which can scorch the foliage.

Moisture-Loving, but Avoid Wet Feet

Begonias enjoy humidity but dislike soggy soil. Let the top layer of soil partially dry between waterings. Bottom watering is ideal, as this prevents moisture from sitting on the leaves—wet foliage can encourage fungal issues and spotting.

Adaptable to Indoor Airflow

Its tolerance of lower airflow makes it well-suited to indoor environments, though moderate humidity levels will help it thrive long-term.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.
