• Begonia jingxiensis var. mashanica is a rare, rhizomatous perennial from the limestone hills and cave mouths of Guangxi, China. It grows by means of creeping underground stems that root at each node, sending up nearly circular, peltate leaves with softly scalloped edges and a fine fringe of hairs. Each leaf bears bold, irregular patches of pale silvery-green set against a deep green background, and new shoots sometimes show a muted bronze flush before settling into mature tones.

Begonia jingxiensis var. mashanica is a rare, rhizomatous perennial from the limestone hills and cave mouths of Guangxi, China. It grows by means of creeping underground stems that root at each node, sending up nearly circular, peltate leaves with softly scalloped edges and a fine fringe of hairs. Each leaf bears bold, irregular patches of pale silvery-green set against a deep green background, and new shoots sometimes show a muted bronze flush before settling into mature tones.

Features:

  • Leaves

    • Nearly circular to broadly kidney-shaped (peltate), with softly scalloped margins and a fine fringe of hairs.

    • Striking variegation: irregular patches of pale silvery-green set against a deep green background, often with a muted bronze flush on the youngest foliage.

    • Leaf undersides carry a subtle bronze-red hue, enhancing their ornamental contrast.

  • Stems

    • Creeping underground rhizomes that root at each node, forming a dense, spreading mat—ideal for groundcover in containers or terrariums.

Care Tips:

  • Light

    • Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

  • Temperature

    • Ideal: 18–25 °C (64–77 °F).

  • Humidity

    • Thrives at 60 %–80 % humidity.

    • Perfect for a closed or open terrarium environment, where moisture levels stay consistently high.

  • Watering

    • Water when the top 1–2 cm of soil feels dry.

    • Avoid overwatering—wet crowns and rhizomes can rot. In a terrarium, mist lightly rather than heavy watering.

  • Soil

    • Use a well-draining, slightly acidic mix (pH 5.5–6.5).

    • A blend of peat moss, perlite, and fine pine bark works excellently both in pots and terrariums.
