Metallic red centres, dark margins and rounded blades curving from a spiral base define Begonia rex 'Red Kiss'. The pattern stays close to the rhizome, so the plant looks bright and dense even at a young size.
Grow it in bright filtered light, steady warmth and a shallow pot filled with a loose, breathable mix. Water when the upper substrate layer is lightly dry, then drain fully to keep the rhizome firm. Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves unfurl cleanly, while airflow supports textured rex foliage. Remove old leaves at the petiole base and avoid splashing the metallic leaf surface during watering to keep the crown clean.
