Begonia 'Tiger Paw' is a charming and distinctive hybrid begonia. It is a relatively small, compact, and low-growing plant that is treasured for its striking foliage. As the name suggests, the leaves of this begonia resemble tiny tiger paws, adding a touch of whimsy and beauty to any indoor space. While the foliage is the primary draw of Begonia 'Tiger Paw,' it may occasionally produce small, inconspicuous flowers. The flowers are usually pink or white and appear on slender stems above the foliage.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Light: Begonia 'Tiger Paw' prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can lead to leaf burn.
2. Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment with temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). It is sensitive to cold and should be protected from drafts and temperature extremes.
3. Humidity: Begonias, in general, appreciate higher humidity levels. Regular misting or placing the plant on a humidity tray can help create the right environment.
4. Watering: Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Begonias like to be evenly moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.
5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with a mix of peat moss, perlite, and a bit of sand to promote good drainage.
6. Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to support healthy growth. Reduce or stop fertilization during the winter months when growth slows down.
Begonia 'Tiger Paw' is an excellent choice for indoor gardening, especially if you're looking for a unique and visually appealing plant with stunning foliage. With proper care, it can thrive and add a touch of nature's beauty to your living space.
