Shadow King® Lime Love - Begonia

Shadow King® Lime Love is a rex begonia selected for its foliage. It belongs to Green Fuse’s compact Love subseries, which is suited to small containers and sheltered displays indoors or in outdoor shade. ## Selection and placement The [GrowerTalks report on Green Fuse’s 2024 introductions](https://www.growertalks.com/Newsletters/View/Newsletter/?article=4142) names Lime Love among the Love subseries selections and describes the group as compact with small foliage. The [North Carolina Extension Rex begonia profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/begonia-rex-types/) describes rex begonias as hybrids grown mainly for their colorful, textured leaves and suitable for containers and houseplants. No cultivar-specific mature dimensions or leaf pattern are stated here. ## Growing conditions Give the plant bright indirect light indoors or sheltered shade outdoors. Use moist but well-drained potting soil; allow the surface to begin drying before watering and drain excess water. Keep humidity moderate to high and avoid misting foliage. Good airflow and careful watering help reduce fungal problems. ## Maintenance Remove damaged leaves and keep the plant away from frost, harsh direct sun and dry heating vents. Reduce watering if growth slows or leaves drop during winter.
