Begonia Rex 'Looking Glass' is a standout addition to any foliage collection, showcasing velvety, metallic silver leaves accented by bold olive-green veining. Flip a leaf and you’ll find striking copper-rose undersides, adding another layer of visual interest. This plant’s bold contrast and rich texture make it a favourite among Begonia collectors.

Begonia 'Looking Glass' Care & Growing Conditions

Bright Indirect Light Preferred

This Begonia thrives in bright, filtered light and can tolerate gentle morning sun. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.

Moisture-Loving but Sensitive to Overwatering

While it enjoys high humidity, 'Looking Glass' does not like to sit in soggy soil or have water on its leaves. Let the soil partially dry out between waterings. Bottom watering is recommended to keep the foliage dry and prevent fungal issues.

Suited for Indoor Environments

Like other Rex Begonias, it grows well indoors in moderate humidity.

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.
