Begonia Lynda Evans
Begonia Lynda Evans is a striking foliage Begonia known for its deeply colored leaves featuring rich shades of burgundy, bronze, dark green, silver, and pinkish-red. The foliage can develop an attractive metallic sheen, with contrasting veins and markings that become especially noticeable as the leaves mature. Its dramatic coloring and compact growth make it an excellent choice for shelves, plant cabinets, terrariums, and specialty Begonia collections.
The plant is commonly sold as Begonia ‘Lynda Evans’. It is a cultivated ornamental Begonia grown primarily for its decorative foliage. Like many specialty foliage Begonias, its exact coloration and pattern can vary with maturity, light levels, temperature, humidity, and growing conditions.
Care
Begonia Lynda Evans does best in bright, indirect light. Good filtered light helps maintain its strongest coloration and encourages compact, healthy growth. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage and damage its more delicate 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 or waterlogged. Avoid allowing the potting mix to stay completely dry for extended periods.
Use a light, airy and well-draining potting mix in a container with drainage. A mixture containing quality houseplant soil or coco coir, perlite or pumice, and fine orchid bark works well. The goal is to provide enough moisture retention for healthy growth while maintaining plenty of airflow around the roots.
Begonia Lynda Evans prefers warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity. Additional humidity can help maintain healthy foliage and reduce crispy leaf edges, but good airflow is equally important. Avoid leaving water sitting on the foliage for extended periods, particularly in humid conditions.
This plant has a compact, bushy to spreading growth habit and is grown primarily for its colorful foliage. Older or damaged leaves can be removed at the base to maintain the plant's appearance and encourage fresh growth. Its coloration may change somewhat throughout the year as light levels and temperatures change.
Pet Safety
Begonia Lynda Evans 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.
