Begonia lichenora

Begonia lichenora is a very small, rare, moderate growing species of trailing Begonia native to Borneo, specifically Sarawak. It has bright green, small leaves that shine a very iridescent blue. It does not like water sitting on its leaves and can be quite fickle. Moist sphagnum moss are helpful for rooting this species. Give it some space to climb. This Begonia can fill in background areas nicely.

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.
