About this plant
A small foliage begonia, 15 to 20 cm, with silvery leaves and darker veins. For a bright shelf or table out of direct sun.
Begonia Arctic Breeze (Begonia 'Arctic Breeze') is a compact foliage begonia grown for its leaves rather than its flowers. Its pointed, textured leaves have a frosty silver surface marked with darker veining and edges, and the plant forms a low, bushy mound. Begonias as a group come from tropical and subtropical forests in Central and South America, Africa and Asia.
In Dubai it is an indoor plant. It likes bright, indirect light and steady room temperatures, and it enjoys humidity, so dry AC air can crisp the leaf edges. Water the soil rather than the leaves, and let the top dry slightly between waterings, as soggy soil causes rot. Direct sun through glass burns the silver leaves, and outdoor heat is too much for it.
It suits desks, shelves, bedside tables and grouped plant displays. We offer it as a small plant of around 15–20 cm.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Begonia Arctic Breeze healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; no direct sun. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 5–7 days when the top 2 cm of soil is dry; water the soil, not the leaves. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: light, airy potting mix with perlite. Feeding: a balanced liquid feed at half strength every 3–4 weeks from March to October. Common mistake: wetting the leaves or keeping the soil soggy, which leads to rot and mildew. Where it works: desks, shelves, bedside tables and grouped plant displays.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (soluble calcium oxalates, highest in the underground parts; can cause vomiting and drooling).
