The foliage is bright green and densely covered with raised, ruby-red blister-like protrusions, inherited from Begonia ferox, while the overall leaf shape reflects the influence of Begonia amphioxus. Prominent veins radiate from the leaf center, enhancing the sculptural appearance. This hybrid is highly prized among Begonia collectors for its bold texture, vivid coloration, and unique three-dimensional leaf surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1431\" data-end=\"1490\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"151\" data-end=\"233\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"153\" data-end=\"233\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"153\" data-end=\"163\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"234\" data-end=\"350\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"236\" data-end=\"350\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"236\" data-end=\"249\"\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep soil slightly moist; water more in spring–summer, less in winter; use room-temperature water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"351\" data-end=\"448\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"353\" data-end=\"448\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"353\" data-end=\"366\"\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prefers high humidity (50–70%); mist leaves, use a water tray, or a humidifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"449\" data-end=\"539\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"539\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"467\"\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal 18–26°C (64–79°F); protect from temperatures below 15°C (59°F).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"540\" data-end=\"632\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"632\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"551\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-draining mix (peat + perlite + bark); avoid heavy, water-retaining soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"633\" data-end=\"762\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"762\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"650\"\u003eFertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed every 2–4 weeks in growing season with diluted (½ strength) balanced fertilizer; pause in autumn\/winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"763\" data-end=\"842\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"842\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"781\"\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leaf or stem cuttings; use healthy, disease-free material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"1032\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"867\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"865\"\u003eAdditional Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"1032\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"919\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"919\"\u003eAvoid water on leaves to prevent mold or rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"979\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"979\"\u003eCheck for pests like spider mites or scale regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"982\" data-end=\"1032\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"984\" data-end=\"1032\"\u003eHandle carefully—textured leaves are delicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Begin With Plants","offers":[{"title":"4 leaves or more","offer_id":62402606236019,"sku":"Begonia (amphioxus × ferox)","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/1665\/9315\/files\/Begonia_AmphioxusxFerox_forSale.jpg?v=1766849956","url":"https:\/\/beginwithplants.com\/products\/begonia-amphioxus-ferox","provider":"Begin With Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
