Begonia 'Two Face'
- In stock, ready to ship
ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
Begonia ‘Two Face’ is one of those plants that makes people stop and ask, what is that? With its dramatic two-tone leaves—each one a work of art in green and deep purple—it’s a brilliant addition to any plant lover’s collection. The foliage shimmers slightly when it catches the light, showing off rich contrast between the two leaf faces, hence the name. These are big, impressive plants—well established and ready to steal the spotlight on any windowsill or shelf.
At Happy Houseplants, we’ve been quietly obsessed with this variety. It’s bold, a little unusual, and wonderfully easy to care for. Even better? It’s a generous grower. With a bit of light and love, it’ll send out new leaves regularly, and those can be easily propagated and rooted in water or soil—perfect for passing on to plant-loving friends.
Plant size
You’ll receive a mature plant in a 14cm nursery pot, standing around 55cm tall. This is a well-grown, established plant that’s already full of character.
Native habitat and growth pattern
Begonias like this one trace their roots back to the humid understories of tropical forests, where they grow in dappled light and moist soil. In the wild, they form dense, spreading clumps—indoors, they make lush, leafy houseplants with a rewarding growth habit.
Styling tips
This Begonia pairs beautifully with minimalist pots that let the foliage do the talking. Its upright yet soft form works well on desks, shelves, or plant stands—anywhere it can be admired up close. It also makes a thoughtful gift for plant collectors or friends who love colour and texture.
Care guide
Begonia 'Two Face' light requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh sun to keep leaf colours rich and vibrant.
Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Let the top inch of soil dry out slightly between waterings.
Humidity: Loves a bit of extra humidity—group with other plants or place on a pebble tray if your home is dry.
Feeding: Feed monthly during spring and summer with our Organic Tropical Plant Food, a gentle seaweed-based formula made especially for healthy foliage growth.
Temperature: Happy in average UK room temperatures, but keep it away from cold draughts.
