Rex Begonia (Begonia rex) 'Red Tango' is an extremely attractive begonia with multicolored red and green leaves and pink blossoms that bloom all season. Rex Begonias are sensitive plants that need bright indirect sunlight, high humidity, regular fertilization, and average soil moisture. It also does best in a limited temperature range between about 60 and 75 degrees F. Because of these needs, Rex Begonias may be best grown indoors as container plants.
