Begonia foliosa

Begonia foliosa is a semi-succulent shrub species from South America. The leaves are incredible and are extremely small. The leaves form "branches" giving foliosa a tree-like appearance. It does well in moderate, indirect light and moderate humidity. Air flow is a must or this Begonia can melt. 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.
