Begonia Rex ‘Escargot’ – Spiral Leaf Rex Begonia

Begonia Rex ‘Escargot’ is a striking tropical foliage plant prized for its dramatic spiral leaf pattern and bold, textured appearance. Each leaf curls inward in a distinctive snail-shell shape, creating the “escargot” effect that gives this cultivar its name. Its compact growth and highly decorative foliage make it a standout choice for shelves, tabletops and shaded indoor displays.

Why You’ll Love It ✔️

✔️ Appearance – Large textured leaves develop a distinctive spiral pattern, giving the foliage a sculptural, eye-catching look.

✔️ Growing Appeal – A compact Rex Begonia that suits bright indoor positions and protected, humid environments.

✔️ Point of Difference – The signature spiral leaf pattern makes ‘Escargot’ instantly recognisable and very different from more conventional Begonia forms.

Care Tips

🌞 Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. Protect from harsh direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage.

💧 Water: Water when the upper portion of the potting mix begins to dry. Keep lightly moist during active growth while avoiding constantly saturated conditions.

💦 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity with good airflow. A humidifier can be beneficial in dry indoor environments.

🌡 Temperature: Ideally 18–28°C. Protect from cold temperatures and cool drafts.

🌱 Soil: Use a loose, well-draining mix containing coco coir, coco chip & perlite to provide good moisture balance and root aeration.

🌿 Fertiliser: Controlled-release fertiliser is already added to the potting mix. A diluted balanced liquid fertiliser can be applied occasionally during active growth.

🚫 Toxicity: Begonias contain calcium oxalates and are considered toxic if chewed or ingested by pets. Keep out of reach of pets and children.

Also known as: Escargot Begonia, Rex Begonia ‘Escargot’, Spiral Begonia

A beautiful foliage Begonia for collectors who love bold texture, dramatic patterning and unusual leaf forms.

Pot Size: 75mm
Shipping Availability: Nationwide except WA
  • Begonia Rex - Escargot is not permitted in WA

We get a lot of questions about how our shipping works, so here’s a simple breakdown 🌿📦

Our shipping rates are charged per box, with each box able to fit up to 8 × 75mm potted plants.

As a general guide:
• 75mm pots make the best use of space, with up to 8 plants fitting in one box
• 100mm pots take up more space, so a box will usually fit around 3 plants depending on their size and shape

If your order requires more than one box, the website will automatically add the additional shipping charge.

For example:
• Up to 8 × 75mm plants = 1 box
• Larger 100mm plants use more box space and may reduce the total number of plants that fit in each box

Beautiful healthy Escargot recieved

Very happy with the plant. Arrived quickly. Healthy, large leaves, lots of fluffy stems, lots of colour and very lovingly packaged. A bit floppy, but that’s expected and with how healthy it looks it’ll pick up in a couple of days. Thank you! Highly recommend!

begonia sad upon arrival ☹️

I don’t normally like to leave negative reviews . It’s just that the plant arrived in a very sad floppy state and never picked up.
I don’t think I will buy a begonia again as I have been told they don’t ship well.

Hi Bron,
Sorry to hear about your plant arriving floppy. We did reply to your email with some tips to help it recover and note that the images you sent through showed a really healthy plant with very large mature leaves.
Begonia Escargot's larger leaves will naturally point down as they grow larger and mature, this allows room for new growth to come through at the top of the plant. While it can seem disappointing, but it is actually how they grow and is perfectly normal. We have included some reference images in the product listing as well as in the product description.

We recommend growing your plants in a hanging basket, this will give the plant room for the larger more mature leaves, like yours has, space to grow. We also recommend a spot with very bright light, high humidity and great airflow for best results.

If you have any further questions about the care for your new Begonia, please dont hesitate to reach out via email.
