Begonia rex 'Soli Mutata' (zonveranderende begonia)

Begonia ‘Soli Mutata’, whose name means “solar change” (from Latin soli = sun, mutata = change), is a remarkable variety of rhizomatous begonia, known for its unique ability to change the color of its leaves depending on the light intensity. This striking optical effect turns each plant into a living piece of plant art.

The velvety and textured leaves show shades of deep green, bronze, and red, with iridescent metallic reflections that subtly shift in soft or strong light. The leaf edges are slightly reddish, and the veins are prominent, adding depth and volume to the overall appearance.

This variety is ideal for lovers of rare plants, as well as for those who want to add an unusual and dynamic visual accent to their indoor decor.
