Begonia sp. Ferny

An undescribed Bornean begonia, and a rare one to find in cultivation.

Begonia sp. ‘Ferny’ is a collector’s plant in every sense. Its small leaves are a deep, moody maroon-blue, and its stems and petioles are covered in fine, fuzzy red trichomes that catch the light. It is a plant that rewards a close look, and it is a stunning terrarium specimen. Give it bright indirect light, consistent humidity and regular feeding through the growing season, and it will thrive.

These are seed-grown plants, not clones, so each one is a little different. Leaf colour and form will vary from plant to plant and develop as they mature, so their adult appearance will be a surprise! Our seedlings are grown with meticulous care, undergoing several increased-depth repottings before release for sale. They will not need repotting upon receipt. In fact, we recommend you leave them be 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.
