Begonia Cracklin Rosie

Begonia ‘Cracklin’ Rosie’ is a real showstopper with its shimmering, star-shaped leaves covered in pink and silver speckles. The leaves are fluted and wavy, featuring a rich dark bronze colour that deepens in bright light, complemented by diminutive pink spots on the surface and a dark red reverse.

This rhizomatous begonia is perfect for beginners because it’s low-maintenance but still gives off major “plant expert” vibes. Whether you keep it on a shelf or let it trail from a hanging pot, its unique foliage makes it stand out in any collection.

Caring for ‘Cracklin’ Rosie’ is pretty straightforward—bright, indirect light keeps those colors vibrant, and well-draining soil prevents soggy roots (begonias hate wet feet!). Water when the top layer of soil feels dry, and don’t stress too much if you forget now and then; it’s more forgiving than it looks. High humidity helps, but no need to go full rainforest mode—a pebble tray or occasional misting will do. With a little love, this beauty will keep putting on a dazzling show!
