Variant

Begonia Soli-Mutata, also known as the Sun-Changing Begonia, is an award-winning, evergreen, creeping, rhizomatous perennial that is primarily grown for its stunning foliage. The heart-shaped, dark green leaves are adorned with lime-green radiating veins and scarlet edges, and they have an uneven upper surface, covered with tiny hair and raised lumps, resembling goosebumps. The name "Soli-Mutata" translates to "Sun-Changing," reflecting its leaves' ability to change colour with varying light intensity—more light results in darker leaves. This begonia also produces clusters of white flowers, adding to its visual appeal. Native to Brazil, it is perfect for pots and containers and makes a wonderful houseplant.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Pro tips

Begonia Soli-Mutata requires high humidity during the growing period and prefers partial shade along with organically rich, moist but well-drained soils. Let the soil dry between waterings and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases or rot. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer at alternative waterings and keep barely moist over winter. Propagation can be done by leaf cuttings or sections of the rhizome. No pruning is required, but dead leaves should be removed promptly and the soil surface kept free of debris to avoid disease problems.

Care Guide

How to take care of Begonia Soli-Mutata

Sun: Indirect

They should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Medium - Bright

They will thrive in bright light, but also can tolerate medium light. A good medium-light place in your home would be in the middle of a room that has a regular size window. They can be placed anywhere between the middle of the room and the window. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

They need to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Medium

They will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.

Pet Caution

This plant is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.
