Begonia Looking Glass

Begonia ‘Looking Glass’ 

Here’s the key info about this variety:

• Type/Variety: Rex Begonia (Begonia rex-cultorum group) – grown for its ornamental foliage.

• Leaves: Shiny, metallic-looking patterns resembling a “mirror” (hence the name Looking Glass), often with green, silver, and burgundy tones.

• Flowers: Small and secondary, not the main feature.

• Growth: Prefers indirect light, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Typically grown indoors or in shaded gardens.

• Toxicity: Like other begonias, it contains soluble oxalates, making it toxic to pets (cats, dogs) if ingested.
