Origin
The Begonia rex Cumbia originally comes from the tropical area of India. Imported in the 19th century, this plant has spread across the world, particularly in warmer climates and areas with moderate temperatures.

Characteristics
The Begonia rex Cumbia, also known as the King Begonia, distinguishes itself by its striking and colourful leaf patterns. The leaf is velvety and sometimes lightly flamed, with colours ranging from red, pink and green to silver. The plants usually remain small, with an average height around 30 centimetres, and do not have significant blooming.

Care
The Begonia rex Cumbia has specific requirements for its location and care. A light, but not direct sun place is recommended to maintain the colours of the leaf. It is recommended to water the plant regularly, but to prevent the soil from becoming soaked. It is also important to keep the humidity high, as the plant naturally grows in humid forest areas. In the winter, watering should be reduced. Light fertilisation during the growing season can contribute to the healthy growth of the plant.
