Rex Begonia Painted Leaf Live Plant – 4-Inch Pot – Begonia spp.

Rex Begonia, also known as Painted Leaf Begonia, is a foliage-focused houseplant valued for its colorful and highly variable leaves. Depending on the leaf and lighting, the foliage may display metallic silver, blush pink, magenta, burgundy, deep purple, and very dark centers and veins with subtle green or silvery-green undertones.

This is a live, healthy, rooted plant supplied in a 4-inch pot. The seller describes its growth habit as compact and bushy, making it suitable for indoor plant displays on shelves, desks, plant stands, and other bright indoor spaces. Individual plants naturally vary in coloration, markings, leaf size, and overall shape.

The seller does not provide a specific species or cultivar name beyond the genus Begonia, so no more specific botanical identification is assigned.
