Iron Cross Begonia: Begonia masoniana
Rhizomatous-rooted begonia with large, lopsided, slightly heart-shaped green leaves with corrugated surfaces, distinctively patterned with 4–5 deep bronze-purple bars radiating from the center. It occasionally produces small, greenish-white flowers during spring and summer.
Height: 8–10in (20–25cm) |
Spread: 10–12in (25–30cm) |
Winter: 55–59°F (13–15°C). Direct light without full sun |
Summer: 55–68°F (13–20°C). Indirect light |
Care: In winter, keep compost barely moist, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings; in summer, water freely without continually saturating the compost, and feed every 2–3 weeks. Repot in spring when roots fill the pot, usually every year when young. |
|
Propagation: Divide congested plants in spring, when being repotted. Alternatively, take leaf cuttings in late spring or early summer and place in 55–61°F (13–16°C). |
