Begonia ‘Looking Glass’ | Established Plant | 4” Nursery Pot

🌿 Wyrd Plant Co. Care Card

🌞 Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Plenty of filtered light helps Begonia ‘Looking Glass’ maintain its brilliant silver coloration and contrasting veins. Avoid prolonged direct afternoon sun, which can scorch or fade the foliage.

💧 Water: Water when the top 1 inch of soil begins to feel dry. Keep the soil lightly and consistently moist without allowing it to become soggy. Allow excess water to drain completely and never let the plant sit in standing water.

💦 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally 50% or higher. Consistent humidity encourages lush foliage, but good airflow is important to prevent excess moisture from lingering on the leaves.

🌡️ Temperature: Thrives between 65 and 80°F (18 to 27°C). Protect from temperatures below 60°F, cold drafts, and sudden temperature changes.

🌱 Soil: A light, airy, well-draining mix that retains some moisture is ideal. A blend containing quality potting soil, perlite, fine orchid bark, and horticultural charcoal works well.

🌿 Fertilizer: Feed every 3 to 4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during periods of slower winter growth.

🐾 Pet Safety: Not considered pet safe if ingested. Keep away from pets and small children.

🌎 Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

🌿 About This Plant

Begonia ‘Looking Glass’ is a spectacular cane-type begonia prized for its luminous, metallic-silver foliage. Its elongated leaves are washed in shimmering silver and accented by contrasting green veins, creating an almost reflective appearance that gives this cultivar its fitting name.

Unlike compact Rex begonias, Looking Glass develops an upright, branching growth habit and can become an impressive statement plant as it matures. The burgundy to reddish tones found on the undersides of the leaves provide even more contrast against the brilliant silver upper surfaces.

With proper care, mature plants may also produce delicate clusters of pink flowers, adding another layer of color to an already remarkable foliage plant.
