Begonia Pegasus Heracleifolia 10” basket

The Begonia ‘Pegasus’ (Heracleifolia) is a stunning hybrid known for its uniquely textured, elongated leaves that resemble the foliage of a hand-painted tropical masterpiece. Its leaves are deeply veined with striking variegation, often showing silvery highlights against rich green tones, sometimes accented with burgundy or bronze hues. Unlike flowering begonias, this plant is grown primarily for its dramatic foliage, making it a standout centerpiece in any indoor collection.

Begonia Pegasus Heracleifolia thrives in bright, indirect light, such as near an east-facing window or a filtered south-facing window. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, while insufficient light can dull the variegation and slow growth. Placing it where it receives consistent, indirect light encourages vibrant coloration and even leaf development.

Caring for this begonia means keeping the soil lightly moist while allowing the top inch to dry slightly between waterings to avoid root rot. Rotating the plant occasionally ensures all leaves receive equal light, promoting fuller, balanced growth. With the right light and attentive care, Begonia Pegasus Heracleifolia becomes a bold, textured statement piece that adds elegance and tropical flair to any space.
