Are Rex Begonias Indoor or Outdoor Plants?

Rex begonias are a type of tropical plant that is adored for its attractive foliage. The leaves of the rex begonia are often described as being large, shiny and colorful. With a variety of shapes and sizes, the rex begonia can be an eye-catching addition to any home.

Due to their tropical origins, rex begonias thrive best in warm, humid environments.

This makes them ideal for indoor growing, as most homes provide the necessary conditions for them to flourish. Rex Begonia plants should be kept in medium-to-bright light in order to maintain their vibrant colors and should be watered regularly, but not overly saturated with water. If temperatures drop below 65°F (18°C), then rex begonias should be moved indoors or protected from the cold.

Since they need to be kept away from cold temperatures and direct sunlight, it is not recommended that rex begonias be grown outdoors unless they are planted in a container that can be easily brought indoors during cold weather or placed away from direct sunlight. The key is to make sure that your rex begonias have access to adequate sunlight without getting too much sunburn.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, while rex begonias prefer warm and humid environments, they are best suited for indoor growing due to their need for protection from cold temperatures and direct sunlight. However, if desired outdoors they can be grown in containers that can easily be moved indoors when necessary or placed away from direct sunlight when outdoors.
