Each of these rare Begonias complements the others beautifully, creating a striking mix of colours, textures, and finishes from matte to metallic, soft to patterned.
Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered sun. Too much direct light can scorch the delicate foliage, while too little light may reduce colour intensity. Terrarium or glass cabinet setups provide ideal, stable lighting conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Water when the top 23 cm of soil feels slightly dry, and avoid letting the roots sit in standing water. These Begonias prefer gentle hydration and dislike drying out completely.
Temperature: Optimal range is 1826 C; protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15 C.
Humidity: High humidity (6080%) is essential, particularly for chlorosticta and phuthoensis. Use a humidifier, terrarium, or pebble tray to maintain ideal levels.
Use a light, airy, moisture-retentive mix compost blended with perlite, coco coir, and fine bark works beautifully. Begonias require excellent drainage and air circulation around the roots. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh the mix and encourage new growth.
Feed every 46 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertiliser formulated for foliage plants. Avoid over-fertilising, which can cause leaf damage or fading.
Remove any older or damaged leaves at the base to maintain shape and promote new growth. Wipe leaves gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and highlight their natural patterns. Rotate occasionally for even light exposure.
Each species has a compact to medium growth habit, typically reaching 2040 cm in height and width. With consistent care and high humidity, these Begonias will flourish, producing intricate new leaves with ever-evolving patterns and colours.
Brown leaf edges: Low humidity or uneven watering.
Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Faded colour: Insufficient light.
Pests: Occasionally affected by fungus gnats or thrips treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
