{"product_id":"begonia-candy-stripes","title":"Begonia Candy Stripes","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBegonia ‘Candy Stripes’ is a stunning foliage begonia prized for its vibrant colors and striped patterning. Believed to be an Asian hybrid of unknown parentage, this cultivar features dramatic leaves adorned with bold shades of pink, silver, red, and deep green- almost black, creating the striped appearance that inspired its sweet name\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe foliage is richly textured with a subtle waxy finish and an eye-catching metallic sheen. Vibrant bands of pink, silver, and green sweep across each leaf, creating striking contrast against the darker leaf margins. As the plant matures, its coloration intensifies, producing an even more dramatic display of color and pattern. With its naturally compact, mounding growth habit, \u003ci\u003eBegonia ‘Candy Stripes’\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent choice for shelves, tabletops, terrariums, greenhouse cabinets, and other indoor growing environments. Reaching approximately 8 to 12 inches in height, it maintains a manageable size while delivering year-round interest through its bold foliage, vibrant colors, and unique texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn my experience, this begonia performs best in bright, indirect light and a loamy, well-draining soil mix that allows airflow around the roots. I allow the growing medium to dry between waterings. This plant has been a rigorous grower and is less sensitive than other begonias in my collection. Moderate to high humidity encourages the best foliage quality and coloration, though good airflow is equally important for maintaining a healthy plant. Under proper conditions, characteristics of the foliage will become richer and more dramatic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"She Dreams in Green","offers":[{"title":"3.5 Inch","offer_id":44107139711054,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/3860\/9998\/files\/74A8C49E-08EC-4C71-913F-98B216544D7C.jpg?v=1785522549","url":"https:\/\/she-dreams-in-green.myshopify.com\/products\/begonia-candy-stripes","provider":"She Dreams in Green","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
