{"product_id":"begonia-overspray","title":"Begonia Overspray","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBegonia 'Overspray' is a distinctive rhizomatous hybrid developed by Josh Brynell at Steve's Leaves from a cross between Begonia abdullahpieei and Begonia 'Marion's Purple Curl'. It is best known for its dark green to purple foliage covered with a bunch of tiny white speckles, creating the appearance of a fine paint mist or \"overspray\" across the leaf surface. The leaves are further enhanced by purple margins and red-toned undersides, giving this cultivar exceptional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe foliage is the true highlight of this begonia. Unlike many thick-leaved rhizomatous varieties, ‘Overspray' has relatively thin leaves that give it a more delicate appearance while still maintaining the durability typical of rhizomatous begonias. The white speckling stands out beautifully against the dark foliage, making each leaf look almost hand painted. As the plant matures, the leaves can become surprisingly large, creating an impressive display of color and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMy mother plant came directly from Steves leaves Nursey. In my collection, this plant thrives in bright conditions approximately two feet from a T5 grow light. My mother plant is grown in a plant cabinet where humidity typically remains above 70%, and I have found that it grows better with elevated humidity. Higher humidity encourages larger foliage, steady growth, and overall improved plant health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAlthough\u003ci\u003e ‘\u003c\/i\u003eOverspray' enjoys moisture, I have found that it grows best when watered just before the potting mix becomes completely dry. Its thinner leaves can show signs of stress if allowed to stay dry for extended periods, but it also benefits from avoiding constantly wet soil. A well-draining substrate combined with a careful watering routine helps maintain healthy roots and vigorous growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"She Dreams in Green","offers":[{"title":"3.5 inch","offer_id":44099379003470,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/3860\/9998\/files\/17F381A7-8E25-4EDD-A2C4-D90A090643A2.jpg?v=1785346598","url":"https:\/\/she-dreams-in-green.myshopify.com\/products\/begonia-overspray","provider":"She Dreams in Green","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
