Begonia liangguangensis

Begonia liangguangensis is a rare begonia species native to Guangxi, China.

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright but indirect light is best. Avoid direct sunlight—it can burn its leaves.

• Soil/Substrate: Use a well-draining mix with plenty of organic matter (peat, leaf mold, coco coir) plus drainage helpers like perlite or vermiculite. Good drainage is essential.

• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. Water when the top layer begins to dry out, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

• Humidity: Begonia loheri does very well in high humidity. A terrarium is ideal because it maintains humidity and moisture around the plant.

• Temperature: Keep in warm, stable conditions—avoid cold drafts. Begonias generally like temperatures between about 65-75°F (18-24°C), though specifics may vary.

• Fertilizer / Repotting: Repot when the plant outgrows its pot or annually. Use fresh soil to refresh nutrients. Fertilize lightly during the growing season if needed.
