Begonia Ruby Slippers

Begonia Ruby Slippers is a decorative tropical foliage plant valued for its patterned leaves and compact indoor growth. It suits shelves, desks, and shaded indoor corners.

The foliage typically features textured leaves with contrasting tones, often combining deep greens with lighter highlights or subtle red undertones. It grows in a bushy, compact form, making it suitable for smaller indoor spaces. Many growers choose this type of begonia for its ornamental appeal rather than size, and it can be a rewarding plant when kept in stable conditions.

This has been grown in a 100mm nursery pot, so that size is a good guide if you’re picking a pot for home. We usually ship bare root for freshness and to keep costs low, but we’re happy to pot your plant on request.
