The Begonia ‘Geometry’ is a highly popular and stunning cultivar that falls under the Rhizomatous Begonia category. It is specifically renowned for its intensely textured, colorful, and complex foliage, which gives the plant a three-dimensional, almost metallic appearance.
Key Characteristics
-
Foliage: The name ‘Geometry’ perfectly reflects its elaborate leaves. They are generally large, star-shaped or deeply lobed, and often feature spiraling centers. The surface is heavily textured or ruffled, giving it depth. The coloration is exceptional, typically displaying a blend of deep burgundy or mahogany at the center, transitioning to metallic silver, green, or black patterns along the veins and edges.
-
Texture: The leaves have a pronounced texture, often described as bulla or bullate, meaning the surface is raised and bumpy. This texture enhances the metallic sheen and the reflective quality of the silver/black areas.
-
Habit: Like other rhizomatous types, it grows from a thick, creeping rhizome that rests on the soil surface. It forms a compact, mounding clump of foliage, making it a fantastic specimen plant for display in a bright spot where its leaf texture can catch the light.
-
Flowers: It produces clusters of pale pink or white flowers, usually on tall, thin stalks, primarily in late winter or early spring, but the blooms are secondary to the dramatic foliage.
Optimal Care
As a prized ornamental foliage plant, Begonia ‘Geometry’ requires consistent conditions to maintain its vibrant color and health:
| Care Aspect | Requirement | Notes |
| Light | Bright, Indirect Light | Essential for color intensity. Low light causes the deep colors and silver patterns to fade. Shield from harsh afternoon direct sun, which can burn the textured leaves. |
| Watering | The ‘Dry’ Test | Allow the top half of the soil to dry out completely between waterings. The rhizomes store water, and overwatering is the quickest way to kill this plant. |
| Humidity | Moderate (40% – 60%) | Appreciates average to moderate humidity. Ensure excellent air circulation to prevent powdery mildew and fungal issues, which begonias can be prone to. |
| Soil | Well-Draining, Airy Mix | A specialized begonia mix or a light, airy blend of potting soil, perlite, and coco coir is ideal for quick drainage. |
| Temperature | Warm (18°C – 25°C / 65°F – 77°F) | Protect from cold drafts and sudden drops in temperature. |
