Begonia Firefly 8cm

🌿 Begonia ‘Firefly’ Care Guide

Firefly is all about glowing foliage — rich colours, dramatic patterning, and that unmistakable collector Begonia sparkle that makes it seem like the leaves are lit from within. Compact, eye-catching, and happiest when conditions stay steady. 🌿✨

• Prefers high humidity (70–90%)

☀️ Light

• Thrives in medium to bright, indirect light
• Avoid direct sunlight — delicate foliage can scorch quickly
• Lower light may reduce colour intensity and slow growth

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly and consistently moist, but never soggy
• Allow only the surface of the soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Use a well-draining but moisture-retentive mix

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (70–90%)
• Dry air can cause crispy edges and reduced leaf quality
• Best suited to cabinets, terrariums, or humid rooms

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth
• Use a diluted balanced liquid fertiliser
• Reduce feeding when growth slows

🌱 Quick Tips

• Stable temperatures are important
• Avoid cold drafts and sudden environmental changes
• Good airflow helps prevent common Begonia issues
• Handle foliage gently to avoid damage
