Begonias are robust plants; they come in many sizes, colours and leaf shapes, and bear flowers for many months.
Begonia polilloensis is a shrubby begonia that is native to the Philippines. Its leaves are very different from mist shrub begonias. They are very thin and narrow, with a webbed shape and an intense green color. Its flowers are small and pink. It is a delicate begonia that requires high humidity, which is why its cultivation in terrariums is recommended.
Care Specks:
