Begonia Negrosensis originates from Negros, Philippines, and is considered one of the most attractive members of the pink Begonia family. It belongs to the cane-like Begonias, with yellow-green stems and aerial roots when grown in humid conditions. Its leaves are narrow and elongated, with soft serrated edges. The most striking feature is the pink spots on the leaf surface, which are particularly vibrant when the plant is young, almost glowing with a fluorescent pink hue. As the plant matures, the leaf color transitions from light green to dark green, but the pink spots remain.
