Begonia rex 'Spitfire'

Begonia rex 'Spitfire' is a compact rhizomatous begonia with pointed, patterned foliage in red, pink, silver, green, and cream tones. It grows as a low, bushy clump, with leaves rising from a shallow rhizome and overlapping into a dense crown.

The leaves are asymmetrical and often ovate to pointed, with a textured surface and sharply defined colour zones. Red to pink areas sit against paler margins and darker edging, giving this rex begonia a vivid, small-scale foliage display.

Spitfire colour and margin pattern

  • Compact rex begonia with a low rhizomatous growth habit
  • Red-pink foliage with silver, green, cream, and burgundy edging
  • Asymmetrical, pointed leaves with a textured surface
  • Suited to shallow pots with steady warmth and filtered light
  • Small flowers may appear on settled plants

Rex habit and textured leaf growth

Begonia rex 'Spitfire' is a Rex Cultorum-type begonia with red-pink leaf colour, shaped blades, textured surfaces and compact rhizomatous growth.

The rex begonia group traces back to Begonia rex, a subtropical rhizomatous species from the eastern Himalayan region into northern Myanmar. Cultivated rex Begonias need bright filtered light, oxygen around the roots and a warm rhizome.

Care for red-pink rex foliage

  • Light: Bright indirect light suits the red-pink foliage. Keep pale leaf sections out of strong sun through glass.
  • Watering: Water evenly once the top 2–3 cm of mix has dried. During winter or cooler weeks, extend the dry interval slightly before watering.
  • Water method: Keep water off the crown and leaf surface where possible. Watering near the pot edge reduces moisture on the shallow rhizome.
  • Substrate: Use an airy, humus-rich mix with perlite, pumice, fine bark, or coco chips. The mix should hold light moisture and release excess water quickly.
  • Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity with airflow. A humidifier or bright plant cabinet reduces dry, crisp leaf margins.
  • Temperature: Keep at 18–24°C. Protect the pot from cold windowsills, cold draughts, and wet winter substrate.
  • Pot choice: Use a shallow container with drainage. Repot gradually, as oversized pots hold more water than the compact root system can use.
  • Feeding: Give diluted balanced fertiliser every 3–4 weeks while new leaves are developing.
  • Seasonal care: Growth may slow in winter. Keep the plant warm, reduce watering frequency, and resume stronger feeding once new leaves appear regularly.
  • Propagation: Propagate from leaf sections or rhizome divisions in warm, humid conditions.

Leaf margin and root checks

  • Scorched pale margins: Move the plant farther from direct sun and check that leaves are away from hot glass.
  • Soft crown or collapsing leaves: Check the rhizome and roots for rot, especially after cool wet conditions. Improve drainage and reduce crown wetting.
  • Crisp red-pink areas: Review humidity, watering consistency, and fertiliser strength. Pigmented rex leaves still need stable moisture around fine roots.
  • Distorted new leaves: Inspect for thrips, mites, or low humidity during leaf expansion. New growth marks permanently once the leaf hardens.

Safe handling around cut rex tissue

Keep Begonia rex 'Spitfire' beyond pets and children that chew plants. Its rhizome and underground tissues contain soluble calcium oxalates in higher concentration than the leaves. Use clean hands or gloves when cutting damaged plant tissue.

Spitfire within rex Begonias

Begonia is a member of Begoniaceae and was named for Michel Bégon. The Latin word rex means “king”, giving Begonia rex its species name and the rex begonia group its familiar title. 'Spitfire' is the cultivar name for this red-pink rex selection.

Begonia rex 'Spitfire' grows as a tidy clump with red-pink centres, pale leaf margins and a shallow rex rhizome.

Perfect replacement wipers
Size: 26"+14"+10-1(PTB)
These are fantastic and fit my car perfectly. I was a little worried but they went on easily and were the perfect replacement. They fit against the glass and don't cause any smearing. I was thrilled to get them so quickly because we had another storm coming and these worked fantastically. I can see out of my windshield. If you're on the fence about these, go ahead and order, they work great.

These were great wiper replacement for my car, very easy to install and way cheaper that buying them at a auto parts store.

Impressive performance at an impressive price
Size: 26"+17"+14BP(HOOK)
I had one damaged wiper, so I decided to replace all 3 on my Subaru Outback. I have read a lot of positive information regarding "silicone" wipers, so I settled on this complete kit as it was a good value for the price and received many positive reviews. They come well packaged, yet I was concerned that the longest blade had to be bent significantly to fit in the odd shaped box. However, once installed, that blade straightened out and conformed snuggly to the contour of the windshield. True to the claim, it does take about 30 seconds to install each blade (that is if you understand the diagram and attempt to do so correctly). I had no issues and each blade snapped securely in place. They appear to be well made and durable. The design is clean and they look good on my vehicle. I've been using them for 2 months now and they work well. They clear the windshield without streaking or chatter. They seem to work as well as other types I have used. The ultimate test will be how long they last. So far, I am very pleased with my choice.

Easy Installation Wipers!
Size: 26"+19"+14BP(HOOK)
Just installed them on my Outback, simple straightforward install. The instructions were simple and they seem to fit well. These wipers were more compatible than the old ones, and the appearance look like they are original! When I purchased these wipers I thought I had purchased the Rain-X wiper replacements, but they were not. These wipers seem to work when I used the windshield cleaner with the wipers. The windshield cleaning seems effortless and without any noise.

Great Wiper Blades, Great Price
Size: 26"+18"+16BP(D-PTB)
Perfect fit for my 2020 Subaru Outback. The blades were very well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. They clean perfectly. I have only been using them for a month, so I can’t speak to longevity. They cost less than one third the premium blades cost at the auto parts store, and work just as well.
