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.

Not cooling throughout the night
Size: Standard Size(1 Pack)
The quality of the pillow was great the stitching as well. The one side did feel cool, but it did not last throughout the evening. Also, it was too thick for my neck and caused me headaches. The phone pieces that are inside made me concerned that after time they would flatten and the pillow would get firm. I am a hot sleeper and I expected it to stay cool longer than two hours. Because of that I returned it, but if you like thick pillows, and you’re not a hot sleeper, it may work for you.

Decent pillow
Size: Standard Size(1 Pack)
Nice pillow. When first opening it you fluff it and put it in the dryer for about 10 minutes, comes out exactly how I like my pillows, firm but has a little bit of softness. Used this pillow for several nights now. Holds it's shape at the start of the night, but when I wake up its sorta flat and had a smashed feel to it. Fluffs back to it's original size and shape. Just wish it was more dense with about 1/4 to 1/2 more foam inside. Would probably help firm it up and hold it's shape better.

Firm and dense to the Extreme!!
Size: Queen Size(2 Pack)
I love my pillows, extremely firm and also extremely dense. I hate when a pillow gets worn down in the middle after like a few weeks or a month and then you’re struggling to get it full again. It’s absolutely impossible. When I got these pillows, it said that it might take 24 hours for them to fully enlarge. I enrolled them and took a look at this flat thin thing and I thought, oh my God, I made a huge mistake in ordering these. Went into the kitchen, made some dinner after dinner went into my bedroom and holy moly, these pillows were massive. I was so excited and I couldn’t wait to sleep on them. Now mind you, I am a side sleeper, so that’s why I like a very full and firm pillow. I do love how full they are, however, it was a little much. Luckily, you can unzip them and take some of the filling out. A little tip is to keep the little zipped bag they give you and you can put some extra filling in there and zip it and if you ever want to fill it back up, it’s easy. I took about 15% of the filling out of each pillow which to me was perfect, but I could see people wanting to take much more out. I love that you have the option of taking it out and putting it back in if you ever need to, but I don’t think you’ll need to because these pillows will never get squishy or flat. I love these pillows so much that I don’t know if I could ever exist without them. Please never discontinue these because if I ever need to get another set, I want them available. Best pillows I’ve ever had in my entire life. Period!

QUTOOL Memory Foam Cooling Pillows
Size: Queen Size(2 Pack)
These pillows are incredible. They are thin and shrink wrapped when they arrive, but once open they warp into a perfectly sizes pillow which can be fluffed to your individual needs. They retain their shape and the memory foam conforms to your head while sleeping. They are cool on one side and warm on the other. I highly recommend them and they have a 100 day money back guarantee. This is the pillow I have been waiting for my entire life.
