Begonia chlorosticta

Description

A Bornean begonia for a humid foliage display. Established plants give a tropical planting a fuller start and need space around their leaves.

In your tropical vivarium: Use a sheltered planting pocket in a humid tropical vivarium, with filtered light and space around the foliage. Avoid a position that stays wet from direct spray.

Care essentials: Filtered light, humidity and gentle ventilation. Keep roots lightly moist and avoid water collecting around the crown.

Also at home: Grow in a draining pot within a humid, ventilated plant cabinet or terrarium. This is a specialist indoor display plant rather than a dry-room houseplant.

Plant details: Supplied in an 8cm pot. Established plants approximately 20–25cm tall.
