Begonia rex 'Spitfire'

Begonia rex 'Spitfire' is a compact rhizomatous begonia with pointed, patterned foliage in red, pink, silver, green, and cream tones. It grows as a low, bushy clump, with leaves rising from a shallow rhizome and overlapping into a dense crown.

The leaves are asymmetrical and often ovate to pointed, with a textured surface and sharply defined colour zones. Red to pink areas sit against paler margins and darker edging, giving this rex begonia a vivid, small-scale foliage display.

Spitfire colour and margin pattern

  • Compact rex begonia with a low rhizomatous growth habit
  • Red-pink foliage with silver, green, cream, and burgundy edging
  • Asymmetrical, pointed leaves with a textured surface
  • Suited to shallow pots with steady warmth and filtered light
  • Small flowers may appear on settled plants

Rex habit and textured leaf growth

Begonia rex 'Spitfire' is a Rex Cultorum-type begonia with red-pink leaf colour, shaped blades, textured surfaces and compact rhizomatous growth.

The rex begonia group traces back to Begonia rex, a subtropical rhizomatous species from the eastern Himalayan region into northern Myanmar. Cultivated rex Begonias need bright filtered light, oxygen around the roots and a warm rhizome.

Care for red-pink rex foliage

  • Light: Bright indirect light suits the red-pink foliage. Keep pale leaf sections out of strong sun through glass.
  • Watering: Water evenly once the top 2–3 cm of mix has dried. During winter or cooler weeks, extend the dry interval slightly before watering.
  • Water method: Keep water off the crown and leaf surface where possible. Watering near the pot edge reduces moisture on the shallow rhizome.
  • Substrate: Use an airy, humus-rich mix with perlite, pumice, fine bark, or coco chips. The mix should hold light moisture and release excess water quickly.
  • Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity with airflow. A humidifier or bright plant cabinet reduces dry, crisp leaf margins.
  • Temperature: Keep at 18–24°C. Protect the pot from cold windowsills, cold draughts, and wet winter substrate.
  • Pot choice: Use a shallow container with drainage. Repot gradually, as oversized pots hold more water than the compact root system can use.
  • Feeding: Give diluted balanced fertiliser every 3–4 weeks while new leaves are developing.
  • Seasonal care: Growth may slow in winter. Keep the plant warm, reduce watering frequency, and resume stronger feeding once new leaves appear regularly.
  • Propagation: Propagate from leaf sections or rhizome divisions in warm, humid conditions.

Leaf margin and root checks

  • Scorched pale margins: Move the plant farther from direct sun and check that leaves are away from hot glass.
  • Soft crown or collapsing leaves: Check the rhizome and roots for rot, especially after cool wet conditions. Improve drainage and reduce crown wetting.
  • Crisp red-pink areas: Review humidity, watering consistency, and fertiliser strength. Pigmented rex leaves still need stable moisture around fine roots.
  • Distorted new leaves: Inspect for thrips, mites, or low humidity during leaf expansion. New growth marks permanently once the leaf hardens.

Safe handling around cut rex tissue

Keep Begonia rex 'Spitfire' beyond pets and children that chew plants. Its rhizome and underground tissues contain soluble calcium oxalates in higher concentration than the leaves. Use clean hands or gloves when cutting damaged plant tissue.

Spitfire within rex Begonias

Begonia is a member of Begoniaceae and was named for Michel Bégon. The Latin word rex means “king”, giving Begonia rex its species name and the rex begonia group its familiar title. 'Spitfire' is the cultivar name for this red-pink rex selection.

Begonia rex 'Spitfire' grows as a tidy clump with red-pink centres, pale leaf margins and a shallow rex rhizome.

Perfect Size - No Squeakers (yay)
Color: Pink, Size: MINI 1.75" - 4 Pack
My 9 lb. Chi-Mix adores her little toy balls. Perfect for her small size (or a medium dog) and full of bounce. I didn't want squeakers because I knew it would drive me nuts. No squeakers in these balls. Perfect training tool to teach fetch. Perfect toys to have play time with your pooch.

Nice and bright
Color: Orange, Size: MINI 1.75" - 4 Pack
These are great to fit the ball shooter I use with my dogs. Color orange makes it easy to find in grass or dirt. Problem is I have a chewer. He loves to chew on the ball and eat the orange fiber. So, the balls get wrecked and I have to replace. Gets costly. I wish they made this same size ball without the orange furry tennis-ball like covering. Maybe the toys would last longer.

Safe for dogs
Color: Green, Size: Regular 2.5" - 4 Pack
Much better for dogs than used/dirty tennis balls. Worth the money for safety.

Easily breakable coating/fur
Color: Pink, Size: MINI 1.75" - 4 Pack
I wanted to love this item but sadly my dog really messed up the coating/fur on these balls so easily, other than that great product but with her being a puppy I got these smaller ones for that reason and I’m absolutely scared of her destroying things and getting stomach issues, so it’s just not worth it to me.
