Begonia ‘Manaus’ is a stunning, fast-growing trailing hybrid of Brazillian begonia species (B. soli-mutata and B. thelmae). It is celebrated for its round green leaves with vivid veining, deep red undersides, and fine red hairs that give the foliage a velvety texture.
Light: Thrives in moderate to bright, indirect light. (Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the delicate foliage).
Humidity: Requires high ambient humidity (ideally 60%+), making it an excellent candidate for decorative terrariums or greenhouse cabinets.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but well-draining. Water roughly every few days to a week when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
Soil: Plant in a rich, light, and very well-draining potting mix.
Growth Habit: Its trailing, cascading stems make it a standout choice for hanging baskets.
