Begonia ferox Green Form

Begonia ferox Green Form is very similar to the well-known Begonia ferox, with the main difference being the color of the spines on its leaves. While both have striking foliage and a rugged appearance, the Green Form features soft green spines, in contrast to the typical red or brown spines of the regular Begonia ferox. This slight variation makes it a captivating addition to any collection, offering a gentler yet equally captivating look.

Features:

• Unique Green Spines: The defining feature of Begonia ferox Green Form is its green spines that cover the surface of its heart-shaped leaves. These spines add texture and create a rugged look while maintaining an elegant touch.

• Compact Growth: Begonia ferox Green Form typically grows to about 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18 inches) in height, making it perfect for small spaces, indoor gardens, or terrariums.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. A spot with morning or evening sun is ideal.

• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 27°C (65°F to 80°F). Keep it away from cold drafts or heat sources.

• Humidity: Begonia ferox Green Form requires high humidity to thrive. Ideal humidity levels are between 50% and 100%. If the air in your home is dry, consider using a humidity tray, humidifier, or placing the plant in a naturally humid environment like a bathroom.

• Watering: Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. It’s best to water from the bottom by placing the pot in a tray of water, allowing the plant to absorb moisture as needed. This method helps prevent water from sitting on the leaves, which could lead to rot.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mixture that includes peat moss, perlite, and a little bit of limestone works best to replicate its native conditions.

• Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. In the fall and winter, reduce feeding as the plant's growth slows down.
