Bring a burst of long-lasting color indoors with the Begonia Reiger (Begonia × hiemalis 'Rieger') — one of the most cheerful and rewarding flowering houseplants you can grow. Also known as the Rieger Begonia or Winter Begonia, this compact beauty produces dense clusters of rose-like blooms in rich shades of red, pink, orange, yellow, and white, all set against glossy deep-green foliage. Unlike many flowering houseplants that bloom briefly and fade, the Reiger Begonia is bred specifically for extended bloom time — making it a standout choice for anyone who wants color that actually lasts..
What makes this plant genuinely fascinating is its hybrid origin: it's a cross between tuberous and fibrous begonias, giving it the best of both worlds — the bold, showy flowers of tuberous types with the easier care habits of fibrous varieties. It thrives in cooler indoor temperatures, which is why it earns the nickname "Winter Begonia" — it actually performs better when most other flowering plants are taking a break.
Care Tips:
Light: Bright indirect light — a north or east-facing window is ideal
Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry; avoid letting it sit in water
Soil: Well-draining potting mix
Temperature: Prefers cooler temps (60–70°F) — keep away from heat vents
Humidity: Moderate; avoid misting directly on flowers
Pro Tip: Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season.
⚠️ Toxicity: Toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested — the roots/tubers are the most toxic part. Keep out of reach of pets and children.

The plant did not arrive in great shape. However, it was an alocasia and I did not add insulation so this is not on the seller (and we all know alocasia does not travel well anddddd they come back)
From start to finish the transaction was amazing. They gave me a discount for my next order even though I didn't ask for one because I knew the risks, and they continued to answer my questions and help me! Will def order again from them and would encourage others to as well!
