The Begonia cucullata ‘Variegata’ is a beautiful and uncommon variety of the classic wax begonia, prized for its creamy-white and green marbled foliage. Each leaf displays a unique splash pattern, blending soft variegation with a glossy texture that catches the light. Compact and bushy in growth, this variety maintains all the resilience of Begonia cucullata while adding a sophisticated, collector-worthy twist through its elegant coloration.
Easy to grow and delightfully ornamental, Begonia cucullata ‘Variegata’ produces clusters of small, delicate pink blooms that complement the luminous leaves. Perfect for bright indoor spaces, shaded patios, or greenhouse displays, it offers color and texture year-round with minimal care.
Care Instructions
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate morning sun, but protect from harsh afternoon rays to prevent leaf scorch.
Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch to dry between waterings.
Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity (50–70%). Can adapt well to typical household conditions.
Temperature: Best between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Protect from cold drafts or temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
💡 Pro Tip: Use a light, well-draining soil mix—equal parts peat, perlite, and fine bark. Regular pruning encourages compact growth and more blooms. For the brightest variegation, provide steady filtered light and avoid overfertilizing.
