Begonia bullatifolia is a slow-growing, compact begonia species native to the Espírito Santo region of Brazil. Known for its distinctive foliage, this plant features heart-shaped leaves covered with small, raised, bubble-like textures. The leaves are densely covered with fine hairs, particularly on the underside, giving them a woolly appearance. The color of the leaves is a soft gray-green with a thick, succulent-like texture. This begonia thrives in humid environments, making it ideal for terrariums or enclosed spaces.

Leaf Characteristics:

  • Shape & Size: Heart-shaped leaves, typically up to 3 inches (7.6 cm) in diameter.
  • Color: Gray-green with short hairs on both sides, with the underside being particularly woolly.
  • Texture: The surface is covered with raised, bubble-like textures, giving the leaves a thick, fleshy feel.

Care Instructions:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
  • Temperature: Best grown in temperatures ranging from 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F).
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. During colder months, reduce watering frequency.
  • Humidity: Requires high humidity, making it well-suited for greenhouses or glass domes.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. It is recommended to add 20-30% volcanic rock to improve drainage.
