Begonia Maurice Amey
Begonia Maurice Amey is a striking foliage Begonia known for its deeply divided, palm-like leaves and dramatic dark coloration. The foliage can display rich green, bronze, burgundy, and nearly black tones depending on light and growing conditions, while contrasting reddish stems add even more character. Its unusual leaf shape gives the plant a bold, almost tropical tree-like appearance that stands apart from more traditional Rex Begonias.
The plant is commonly sold as Begonia ‘Maurice Amey’. It is a cultivated Begonia grown primarily for its distinctive ornamental foliage. Like many specialty Begonias, its appearance can change somewhat with maturity and growing conditions, particularly in the intensity of its darker foliage coloration.
Care
Begonia Maurice Amey does best in bright, indirect light. Good filtered light encourages compact growth and helps bring out the strongest coloration in the foliage. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water when the top inch of soil begins to feel dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain. This Begonia prefers consistent moisture during active growth but should never remain soggy. Avoid allowing the plant to stay completely dry for extended periods.
Use a light, well-draining and airy potting mix in a pot with drainage. A mixture containing quality houseplant soil or coco coir, perlite, and fine orchid bark works well. The goal is to retain some moisture while still allowing plenty of airflow around the roots.
Begonia Maurice Amey prefers warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity. Additional humidity can encourage healthier foliage, but good airflow is important to help prevent fungal problems. Avoid keeping the leaves constantly wet, and protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
This Begonia develops a bushy, upright to spreading growth habit and can become a substantial foliage plant with maturity. Pinching or pruning longer stems can encourage branching and a fuller appearance. Remove older or damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant looking its best.
Pet Safety
Begonia Maurice Amey is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Begonias contain soluble calcium oxalates that can cause irritation of the mouth and digestive tract, with the highest concentrations generally found in the underground portions of the plant. Keep it away from pets and small children.
