Know before you buy
The 'Tie Dye' is a Logee’s exclusive hybrid distinguished by its unique spiral leaf pattern and deep red coloration. Notably, it has been bred to exhibit reduced winter dormancy, meaning it remains active and attractive for a longer period throughout the year compared to many standard rex begonias.
This plant thrives in humidity above 50%. You can maintain this by grouping it with other plants, using a pebble tray filled with water, or placing it in a room with a humidifier, especially during the drier winter months.
It prefers partial sun. An indoor spot with bright, indirect light—such as near an east-facing window—is ideal to maintain the vibrancy of its leaf patterns without scorching the foliage.
Terra cotta and clay are porous materials that allow the soil to breathe and excess moisture to evaporate. This helps prevent the roots from sitting in water, which is crucial for keeping rex begonias healthy and avoiding rot.
The 'Tie Dye' begonia typically reaches a mature height of about 14 inches. Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for tabletops, shelves, or small indoor spaces.
This begonia should be kept in environments where temperatures do not drop below 60°F. It is best suited for indoor living spaces where you can maintain a consistent, comfortable climate.
