Origin
The Begonia 'Alaska Creek' is a relatively new variety in the Begonia family and was developed by specialised growers. This plant species is named after the area where its unique growing characteristics were first identified, Alaska Creek, a location known for its unique flora.

Characteristics
The Begonia 'Alaska Creek' is appreciated for its striking heart-shaped leaves with a pearly white sheen, and blooms with light pink flowers during the summer period. This plant species grows compact and generally does not grow taller than 15 to 20 centimetres. The ground's recent growth and compact form make the Begonia 'Alaska Creek' suitable for both pot plant culture and landscape planting.

Care
A Begonia 'Alaska Creek' requires indirect sunlight and well-draining soil to flourish. The plant has average water requirements, and excess water can cause root rot. For this reason, it's important to wait until the top layer of soil feels slightly dry before re-watering. It is also recommended to fertilise the plant annually in the spring to support the growth period.
