Broad, lopsided heart shaped leaves in deep, dusky tones sit in a low, bushy clump, each with the slightly puckered, textured surface that makes rex begonias so tactile. It is a plant for a shelf or side table where the leaves can be seen from above, and it pairs well with brighter foliage from the rest of our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/growtropicals.com\/collections\/begonia\"\u003ebegonia collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJungle Wonder is a trade series of rex begonias, the hybrid group developed from \u003cem\u003eBegonia rex\u003c\/em\u003e of northeast India and southern China. Ebony is one colour in a series that also includes Tricolore, Black and Green; the names are series names rather than registered cultivars. Like every rex begonia, it is a houseplant rather than an outdoor bedding plant and wants a warm room all year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium to bright indirect light brings out the depth of colour; direct sun scorches the leaves and deep shade dulls them. Water when the top couple of centimetres of compost have dried, at the base rather than over the leaves, and let it drain. It likes humid air, so a pebble tray or a spot among other plants suits it better than misting, which can mark the leaves. It sits naturally among our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/growtropicals.com\/collections\/humidity-loving-houseplants\"\u003ehumidity loving houseplants\u003c\/a\u003e. Keep it above 13C and away from draughts. Begonias are toxic to cats and dogs if chewed, so place it out of reach.
