Here are some tips for taking care of your Begonia 'Rex':

1. Lighting: Rex Begonias prefer bright, indirect light. They don't do well in direct sunlight, as it can scorch their leaves. A spot near a north or east-facing window is often ideal.

2. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water your Rex Begonia when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be careful not to overwater, as Begonias are susceptible to root rot.

3. Humidity: Rex Begonias thrive in high humidity environments. To increase humidity, you can mist the leaves regularly or place a tray of water near the plant to create a humid microclimate. Another option is to use a humidifier in the room where the plant is located.

4. Temperature: Rex Begonias prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). They are sensitive to cold drafts, so make sure to keep them away from chilly windows or doors.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil works well for Rex Begonias.

6. Fertilizing: Feed your Begonia 'Rex' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for the correct dosage.

With its vibrant and intricate foliage, the Begonia 'Rex' will definitely make a statement in your indoor space. Enjoy caring for your beautiful plant! 🌿🌺
