🌿 Begonia ‘Inca Flame’ Care Guide

Inca Flame is all about fiery foliage — glowing shades of red, pink, and deep burgundy sweep across beautifully textured leaves, creating a dramatic display that seems to change as the light catches it. Compact, colourful, and full of personality, this striking rex Begonia brings instant warmth to any indoor plant collection. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in medium to bright, indirect light
• Bright filtered light helps maintain its rich red and pink colouring
• Avoid direct sunlight — delicate foliage can scorch easily
• Lower light is tolerated, but colours may become less intense

💧 Water

• Keep soil lightly and consistently moist, but never soggy
• Allow the surface of the soil to dry slightly between waterings
• Use a free-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix
• Avoid splashing water directly onto the foliage where possible

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60–80%)
• Higher humidity encourages lush, healthy foliage
• Good airflow helps reduce the risk of fungal issues
• Keep away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth
• Use a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength
• Reduce feeding during autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Ideal for shelves, display cabinets, and humid rooms
• Remove damaged or ageing leaves to encourage fresh growth
• Keep temperatures warm and stable throughout the year
• Handle the delicate foliage gently to avoid damage
