Begonia Rex Jurassic Jr. Fire Spike

Terrestrial foliage plant suitable for indoor pots, terrariums, and shaded decorative planters. Delivered as a single small rooted plant in a plastic pot.

Begonia Rex ‘Jurassic Jr. Fire Spike’ (Rex Begonia hybrid) is a compact cultivated foliage variety developed within the Jurassic™ series, selected for bold coloration and manageable size. Like other Rex Begonias, it forms a low-growing mound of textured, asymmetrical leaves with pronounced veining. ‘Fire Spike’ is characterized by vivid red to crimson tones radiating from the center, often contrasted with darker margins and metallic undertones, creating a dramatic focal point in shaded displays. The “Jr.” designation indicates a more compact growth habit compared to standard Jurassic types, making it suitable for smaller containers and controlled environments. While primarily grown for foliage, Rex Begonias may produce small, delicate flowers under stable conditions, though the leaves remain the main ornamental feature. Best grown in well-drained, lightly moist substrate with good airflow and moderate to high humidity.

Leaf size, coloration intensity, and pattern contrast may vary depending on light and humidity conditions.
