Description:
Begonia Highway
 
Habit
Upright, cane-type Begonia with branching stems and elongated foliage. Plants become taller and fuller as they mature.
 
Growth Rate
Moderate to fast under warm, bright conditions.
 
Placement
Best suited to a bright tabletop or plant stand while young. Mature plants can become tall and may eventually work well as a floor plant.
 
Leaf Size
Medium to large, elongated leaves with metallic silver colouring, green veining and deep red undersides.
 
Light
Medium to bright indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can damage or fade the foliage.
 
Water
Water thoroughly, then wait until the pot feels noticeably lighter before watering again. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.
 
Soil
Rays Retail Nursery’s Chunky Premium Aroid Mix
 
Feeding
Moderate feeder during active growth. Regular feeding encourages stronger growth and healthy foliage. Grab some Novion before checkout.
 
Humidity
Average household humidity is generally sufficient. Higher humidity can help keep the foliage looking its best.
 
Sensitivities
Sensitive to overwatering and water sitting on the foliage for extended periods.
 
Pet Safe
No. Begonias can cause irritation if chewed or ingested by pets.
 
Rays Says
"Highway is a fast-growing cane Begonia with seriously striking foliage. Give it good light and don’t be scared to prune it as it grows. Cutting it back encourages branching and helps keep the plant fuller rather than tall and leggy."
