Begonia thelmae GB135264

Description

Velvet leaves with a colour flip. Lime-green veins sit against dark foliage, with pink-red undersides revealed as this begonia rambles and climbs.

In your tropical vivarium: Plant in a sheltered, well-drained pocket in your tropical vivarium, where the leaves can be seen without constant spray. Give taller forms space and trim as needed.

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

Also at home: Pot in an airy mix with drainage. Choose a bright, humid indoor spot; more delicate forms are best displayed in a ventilated plant cabinet.

Plant details: Rooted cutting supplied in an 8cm pot. Propagated at Fantastic Frogs.
