The leaf base curls inward in a tight spiral, like a snail shell. Begonia ‘Escargot’ is a Rex Begonia with large, asymmetric leaves that swirl at the centre in a pronounced corkscrew pattern. The colour moves in concentric bands of silver, mid-green, and deep chocolate-brown, following the spiral and creating a bold, graphic effect. The surface carries a fine, fuzzy texture. It stays compact and low, forming a dense rosette that suits a tabletop, shelf, or terrarium where humidity can be kept high.

Origins
Rex Begonias are derived from Begonia rex, native to the forests of northeastern India. ‘Escargot’ is a modern hybrid selected for the distinctive spiral at the leaf base and its bold, banded colouring.

Soil and Substrate
Our Simply Houseplant Tropical Potting Mix provides a well-draining, peat-free blend that suits Rex Begonias well.
