โจ Begonia Maurice Amey - Pink Diamond
A stunning Cane/Angel Wing begonia with large angel-wing shaped leaves in a metallic pink hue, covered in sparkling silver dots! With dark olive-green veins and a deep red underside, every leaf is a work of art!
A hybrid between Begonia 'Torch' and a rare Philippine species. It grows fast and branches out beautifully, potentially reaching up to a meter in height! In good conditions, it also produces small pink flowers. Also known as "Miss Mummy".
๐
Spectacular metallic foliage
Metallic pink with silver dots - looks like it stepped out of a fairytale! Each leaf can reach 20 cm in length.
๐จ
More light = more pink!
Colors intensify with bright light - in ideal light, you might even see a silver margin around the leaves!
๐
Fast grower!
One of the faster growers among begonias. It branches beautifully and fills out - very rewarding!
๐ธ
Pink flowers
In good conditions, it produces clusters of small pink flowers - a bonus on top of its stunning foliage!
๐ก๏ธ
Heat tolerant
Unlike other begonias, the Maurice Amey tolerates heat relatively well - an advantage in the local climate!
The rule: More bright light (not direct!) = more pink and more silver dots!
๐ช East/West Window
Bright light + gentle sun
๐๏ธ Bright Living Room
Near a large window
๐ Bright Bathroom
High humidity = heaven!
๐ผ Bright Office
An impressive statement!
๐ด Shaded Balcony
In summer, dappled shade
๐ฑ Terrarium/Greenhouse
Ideal humidity
โ ๏ธ Avoid: Strong direct sun (will burn!), dark spots (will lose color), poor air circulation (sensitive to mold in winter).
๐ง
Watering
Water when the top 5 cm of soil is dry.
Summer: Once a week | Winter: Once every 1-2 weeks
๐ก Drooping leaves = thirsty! Yellow leaves = too much water.
โ๏ธ
Lighting
Bright indirect light - the more, the stronger the colors!
Some morning/afternoon sun - excellent. Direct midday sun - no!
Within 1 meter from a window = ideal.
๐จ
Humidity
Prefers high humidity (50-70%) but tolerates standard household humidity (40%+).
Dry tips = humidity too low. A pebble tray will help!
โ ๏ธ Needs good air circulation - sensitive to mold!
๐ก๏ธ
Temperature
18-27ยฐC - comfortable room temperature. Tolerates heat relatively well! Avoid cold below 13ยฐC.
๐
Soil and Fertilization
Rich, well-draining soil: 45% soil + 25% perlite + 20% peat + 10% charcoal/compost.
Use diluted fertilizer every two weeks in spring-summer for fast growth.
โ๏ธ Pruning for density
Pinch tips in spring to encourage branching. This begonia branches well on its own, but pruning creates a fuller, bushier plant!
๐ Sensitive to mold in winter
In winter, when the air is cold and humid - sensitive to Powdery Mildew. Ensure good air circulation, and keep it in a warm, bright place!
๐ฑ Easy propagation
Easy to propagate from stem cuttings! Cut below a node, place in water or moist soil - roots in weeks.

โ How often to water?
Water when the top 5 cm of soil is dry: usually once a week in summer, and once every week or two in winter. Drooping leaves are a sign that it is thirsty, and yellow leaves are a sign of overwatering.
โ How much light does it need?
Bright, indirect light. The more light it gets, the pinker the leaves and the more prominent the silver spots. A little morning or afternoon sun is fine, but direct noon sun will burn the leaves.
โ Does it need misting?
It's better not to. It loves 50-70% humidity and does fine in regular household humidity; a pebble tray with water increases humidity without wetting the leaves, as wet leaves encourage mold.
โ A powdery white layer has appeared on the leaves - what is it?
This is likely powdery mildew, a fungal disease it is susceptible to mainly in winter. Remove the affected leaves, move it to a warm, bright place with good airflow, and do not wet the leaves.
โ How much does it grow?
When mature, it reaches a height of 60-100 cm, with leaves up to 20 cm long. It grows fast and branches out beautifully.
โ How to keep it full and prevent it from getting leggy?
In the spring, prune the stem tips, which encourages it to branch out and become fuller. The pruned tips can be rooted in water or moist soil.
โ Is it suitable for beginners?
Care level is moderate. It needs bright light, measured watering, good airflow, and temperatures of 18-27ยฐC, with no cold below 13ยฐC.
โจ In short - who is it for?
The Begonia Mauricii is perfect for those looking for a dramatic and unusual foliage plant with stunning metallic colors! It grows fast, tolerates heat, and is easier than Rex begonias. Suitable for bright living rooms, offices, and anyone who wants a real showstopper!
๐ก Tip: Want the most intense pink color? Give it plenty of bright (indirect!) light - the more light it gets, the pinker the leaves become and silver edges appear around them!
