{"product_id":"begonia-bewitched-lavender","title":"Begonia Bewitched Lavender","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBegonia 'Bewitched™ Lavender' is a stunning rex begonia prized for its large, metallic foliage and dramatic blend of silver, lavender, burgundy, and deep green tones. The heavily textured leaves feature pronounced veins and uniquely shaped margins that give the plant a bold, almost sculpted appearance. Depending on lighting conditions, the foliage can display an iridescent sheen that makes the plant appear to glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLarge silver leaves are highlighted with lavender and burgundy markings that become more vibrant under bright, indirect light. The combination of coloration, texture, and leaf shape makes ‘Bewitched™ Lavender' one of the more eye-catching members of the rex begonia group. While it may occasionally flower, it is grown almost exclusively for its spectacular foliage display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOne of the advantages of this begonia is its versatility. Here in Texas, it can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors during the warmer months, provided it is placed in a shaded location and protected from direct sun. Outdoors, it makes an excellent container plant for covered patios, shaded porches, and protected garden spaces. Indoors, it thrives in bright, indirect light and stable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn my collection, my mother plant is grown in a greenhouse cabinet maintained at approximately 80% humidity. It is positioned about two feet from a T5 grow light, where it receives bright indirect light throughout the day. Under these conditions, the foliage develops excellent coloration, strong leaf texture, and consistent growth. The elevated humidity helps prevent leaf edge crisping and keeps the leaves looking their best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eLike many rex begonias, ‘Bewitched™ Lavender' appreciates a well-draining substrate and careful watering. I have found it performs best when allowed to dry slightly between waterings rather than being kept consistently wet. While it enjoys higher humidity, it is sensitive to overly saturated soil, making good drainage and proper watering habits essential for long-term success.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"She Dreams in Green","offers":[{"title":"3.5 inch","offer_id":44099454632014,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/3860\/9998\/files\/E91F3DF7-EEC4-4D1F-A7AF-EF37FE40EC38.jpg?v=1785346598","url":"https:\/\/she-dreams-in-green.myshopify.com\/products\/begonia-bewitched-lavender","provider":"She Dreams in Green","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
