Begonia 'Aiai' is all about the foliage. Grown for its bold, sculptural leaves in rich, deep tones, it is a real statement plant that brings texture and drama to a shelf or grouping. Each leaf has its own character, giving the plant a lush, layered look.

Begonias love a bright spot out of direct sun and a little humidity. Give it those and it will keep pushing out beautiful new growth.

Care at a glance

Light: Bright, indirect light. Keep out of harsh direct sun.

Water: Water when the top couple of centimetres of compost dry out, taking care not to wet the leaves or leave it soggy.

Humidity: Prefers higher humidity, so enjoys a kitchen or bathroom, or being grouped with other plants.

Note: Best kept away from curious pets, as begonias can cause an upset stomach if chewed.
