2.5" Pot Size
Here’s another Logee’s exclusive hybrid from Logee’s third generation owner and horticulturist, Byron Martin. ‘Tie Dye’ is a standard rex with deep red spirals in the leaves. The spirals are tight turns and the leaves carry that classic tie-dye look with its red and green markings. This new hybrid tends to have less of a winter dormancy than other rex begonias.

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.

Wilhelmina Beautiful plant. Begonias are difficult to manage.

Anonymous Very healthy plant arrived with 8 perfect leaves. I’ve had a begonia ‘Tie Dye’ since covid. I thought it had died so I ordered a replacement. Seems it was just dormant and now it has pushed 2 large leaves with more to come. Great begonia! Very easy to keep happy and does well in low light.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Karen! We're thrilled your Begonia Tie Dye arrived in perfect condition, and how lovely that your original plant has come back to life—those tie-dye patterns are truly magical when they're thriving. You've perfectly captured why we love this begonia so much: it's forgiving, beautiful, and such a joy to watch grow. We're so glad it's bringing you happiness!

David Malmquist A small start plant, and that is fine. But you had me on scared about how the condition the plant will arrive. From the date of the plant shipping, to when it arrived, it was a six day shipment by the USPS. And the weather from Connecticut to Michigan was just about freezing or below. I was afraid it would arrive in a frozen dead state. Luckily, it arrived fine, and is doing great. Thank you.

Julia Begonias are in my top 5 favorite flowers. They're so colorful, hearty & seem to stick around awhile. The tie dye color blend of this hybrid & variegated leaves make you stop and take a look. It's very different & a beautiful showcaser. Hope this one takes off & I have it for a long time.
