Begonia picturata is a unique rhizomatous begonia species native to the limestone regions of Guangxi, China. The leaf edges are gently wavy, and the underside of the leaves showcases a rich red color. The plant’s flower clusters feature white petals with yellow stamens, blooming between May and July.

Cultivation Tips:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to protect the delicate leaves and preserve their color.
  • Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F).
  • Humidity: Requires a humidity level of at least 50% to maintain healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
  • Soil: Prefers well-draining, organically rich soil. A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark is ideal.
  • Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging. Water when the top layer of soil feels dry.

Care Considerations: Due to its specific environmental needs, Begonia picturata is best suited for greenhouse or terrarium cultivation, where humidity and temperature can be controlled.
