🌿 Begonia ‘Two Faces’ – Care Guide

Begonia ‘Two Faces’ is a unique and eye-catching variety celebrated for its striking bi-colored leaves, where the front and back sides showcase contrasting hues. This variety often features green or silver topsides and vibrant red or burgundy undersides, giving it a “two-faced” visual effect that looks stunning from every angle. It’s a must-have for collectors and design lovers looking for dramatic foliage.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Prefers bright, indirect light

• Can tolerate medium light, but too little light may fade the color contrast

• Avoid harsh direct sun to prevent scorching the leaves

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 1–2 cm (0.5–1 inch) of soil is dry

• Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy

• Avoid splashing water on leaves to prevent spots or fungal issues

🌱 Soil & Potting

• Use a light, well-draining potting mix (peat + perlite recommended)

• Ensure the pot has drainage holes

• Repot when rootbound or soil becomes compacted

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal range: 18–26°C (65–78°F)

• Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F)

• Prefers moderate to high humidity – mist lightly or use a humidity tray

🍃 Fertilizing

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during active growth (spring–summer)

• Use a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength

• Avoid over-fertilizing, which can cause leaf burn

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Trim back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth

• Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain appearance

• Propagate easily from stem or leaf cuttings

✅ Ideal For

• Tabletops, shelves, or plant clusters where both leaf sides can be admired

• Houseplant lovers who want color without flowers

• Adding contrast and texture to indoor green spaces

⚠️ Pet Safety

• Begonia is toxic if ingested – keep away from pets and children

Let its dual personality bring a fresh edge to your green space.
