‘Satin Jazz’ is a new rex begonia hybrid developed by begonia breeder, Mike Kartuz. In winter and spring, it has silvery leaves with striking maroon borders and deep red veining. In summer and fall, the leaf color changes to a vibrant maroon. (See inset photo.) Unlike many rex begonias, it doesn't go dormant in the winter so you’ll have year-round color for the windowsill. This beautiful begonia has a nice, upright growth habit.

Plant Care

Tips for Success:

• Place in good light; some direct sunlight is needed.• Accurate watering – Bring plant to a slight wilt between   waterings.• Moderate fertilizer once a month. Stop fertilizer in the winter.• Keep humidity above 50% and night temperatures above   60-65ºF.• Growth cycle slows and stops for 2-3 months in the winter.   Plants can lose some leaves during this resting period.   This is normal. Continue normal watering.• Use terra cotta or clay pots.• Keep an eye out for mildew to which Rexes have some   susceptibility.

Treating Mildew

• Identify - Appears as a white powder on the surface of the   leaves, usually at the change of seasons.• Treatment - Apply a baking soda solution -1Tbl/quart with a   dribble of dishwashing detergent.• Application - Spray at first signs and reapply every other day for   4-5 applications.• Prevention - Spray once every 3 months. Pure Neem Oil is   effective on mildew.

What a Stunner!

I have this sitting in a copper pot. The vivid purple with the special swirl in the leaf makes me smile every time I lay eyes on it.

Shimmers With Colors!

I'm a novice at growing begonias but I simply couldn't resist this beauty. The photo just can't do it justice. The sheen and shimmer overlaying the leaves give full play to the magnificent range of colors. Green, silver, rose, pink, red, blush, grey, blued tones and more I can't describe. The ruffled edges provide even greater texture. The plant arrived well packaged in peak health. New growth was sprouting even on arrival, and after more then a week with me it is truly thriving! Don't miss this one.
