Origin
The Begonia Magic Colours Lion Dance is part of the Begoniaceae family. This plant variety has arisen from the crossings and selections of botanists, largely based on species originating from the tropical and subtropical areas of the world. The name component 'Lion Dance' has been allocated to indicate the vibrant yellow colour and unique pattern of the flower.

Characteristics
Characteristic of the Begonia Magic Colours Lion Dance are the bright yellow flowers with reddish accents at the edge, reminiscent of the colours used in the traditional Chinese lion dance. The flowers are also noticeably large relative to the dark green leaves. The plant does not grow very high, but can expand considerably in width if there is enough light and space available.

Care
The Begonia Magic Colours Lion Dance prefers a warm, light spot, but needs to be protected from the full midday sun. The plant needs regular watering, but beware of overwatering. In the growth period, usually in the spring and summer, the plant appreciates a nutritious potting soil and the use of fertilisers can promote blooming. It is recommended to keep the plant indoors in regions with a cold climate, as they are sensitive to freezing cold.
