‘Green Gecko’ is an exciting variety of Begonia that is happy to grow indoors and will thrive in semi shade. It boasts huge, serrated leaflets in a mesmerising spiral of green, silver and red. Ideal for growing in a modern home interior, conservatory or greenhouse, this hardy shrub remains easy to care for all year round and makes a striking focal point wherever placed. As Summer arrives you will witness a flurry of small pink flowers, that complement its unique foliage perfectly. This Begonia is not one to miss! The fabulous foliage of Begonia ‘Green Gecko’ makes an exuberant centrepiece for an indoor room or conservatory.
Place your Begonia in a bright spot that is not in direct sunlight – an east or west-facing windowsill is ideal. Water regularly but avoid overwatering or letting the plant sit in water. Aim the water directly onto the compost, avoiding splashing the leaves as much as possible. Feed fortnightly between May and September with a plant food that is high in potassium (for cane-types where abundant flowering is most important) or high in nitrogen (for rex-type or foliage varieties). Reduce watering in winter, allowing the surface of the compost to begin to dry out before watering again. In winter keep your begonias above a minimum temperature of 13°C. Plants can be brought outside in summer once night temperature reliably exceeds this.
