Begonia daunhitam X darthvaderiana

This stunning hybrid begonia is a cross between B daunhitam (seed parent) and B darthvaderiana (pollen parent). This hybrid has proven to produce leaves the deep blue colour of daunhitam, and the vivid leaf margins and depth of colour that darthvaderiana is famous for. As with each parent, both upright growers, this terrarium specimen will be a jaw-dropper, but will appreciate regular feeding. With stunning colouration, the blue iridoplasts glow under the correct lighting. Please note that we do not use flash photography to highlight this plant, unless labelled in photograph.

These are seed-grown plants, not clones, so their adult morphology will be a surprise! Testing has proven that juveniles display faint silver spots that will either continue or fade with growth. Our seedlings are grown with meticulous care, undergoing numerous increased-depth repottings before release for sale - they will not need repotting upon receipt; in fact, we recommend you do not repot until they outgrow their current pot at a minimum.

Please note that you may not receive the exact plant shown in the photo, but you will receive one of similar size.
