Care Guide – Keep Your Begonia Magic Colours Silver Limbo Thriving

✅ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves.

💧 Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.

🌿 Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60%+), making it an excellent terrarium or vivarium plant. If grown outside a terrarium, use a humidity tray or mist regularly.

🌱 Soil & Repotting: Requires a well-draining, airy mix. Avoid heavy soils to prevent root rot.

🌡 Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions (18-26°C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

❌ Crispy Leaf Edges: Usually caused by low humidity. Increase moisture with misting, a pebble tray, or placing the plant in a terrarium.

❌ Yellowing Leaves: Often a sign of overwatering. Ensure the soil is well-draining and allow the top layer to dry slightly before watering again.

❌ Leggy Growth: If the plant starts stretching towards the light, it may not get enough brightness. Move to a location with more indirect sunlight.

Begonia Extra Care Guide

Light:
Begonia Magic Colours Silver Limbo prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves, so it’s best placed in a spot with filtered light or partial shade. It can adapt to lower light conditions, which may result in less vibrant foliage.

Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, leading to root rot. In winter, watering is reduced slightly as the plant’s growth slows.

Humidity:
High humidity is essential for this plant, making it perfect for terrariums and vivariums. If grown outside these environments, consider misting regularly or placing it near a humidifier to maintain adequate moisture.

Temperature:
Thrives in temperatures between 16°C to 24°C. It’s sensitive to cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, so keep it in a stable environment away from open windows or doors.

Soil:
Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. A blend designed for African violets works well. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to provide the necessary nutrients.

Fertilising:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser, diluted to half strength, every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilising, as this can cause leaf burn.

Pruning:
Regularly trim back any dead or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth. Pinching back the stems will help maintain a compact shape and promote bushier growth.

Repotting:
Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a slightly larger pot to prevent excess soil from retaining too much moisture.

Terrarium and Vivarium Suitability:
This Begonia is particularly well-suited for terrariums and vivariums due to its love for humidity and compact growth habit. It thrives in these environments’ stable temperature and moisture levels, making it an excellent choice for closed terrariums or high-humidity plant setups.
