How to Care for the Plant

Water
Watering should be done directly in the pot, or from the bottom-up.
Fertilizer
Rex Begonias aren't heavy feeders, so you can fertilize them as little as once or twice a year. But if you want faster growth, fertilize them more frequently with a general-purpose houseplant fertilizer (following the directions on the packaging).
Sunlight
Moderate to bright indirect light.
