Begonia glabra

Begonia glabra is a unique vining Begonia that is extremely popular in vivariums and is native to Mexico and most of Central and South America. It is a moderate to fast growing species with stunning leaves that contrast green and red. It does well in bright, indirect light and moderate to high humidity. It prefers some airflow. Moist soil and sphagnum moss are helpful for rooting this species.

All of our cuttings have adventitious, aerial roots. Our rooted specimens will have at least a few active roots and will be established plants. Our plants are grown in high humidity in terrariums and greenhouses, therefore may need acclimation to the average home humidity / environment. Please contact us for acclimation information if you are not planning to use this plant in a terrarium, greenhouse, or humid room.
