Begonia sp. ‘Pandora’ is a truly enchanting species, known for its green, velvety leaves adorned with dazzling, gem-like fluorescent spots. As the plant matures, the fluorescence of these spots intensifies, creating a striking visual effect. In low-light environments, the leaves may even exhibit a soft blue glow, making it an extraordinary addition to any plant collection. This begonia thrives in high-humidity conditions, making it especially well-suited for terrariums and a true standout among rare foliage plants.

Features:

• Fluorescent Gem-Like Spots: Velvety green leaves are scattered with radiant, jewel-like fluorescent spots that intensify in brightness and clarity as the plant matures.

• Soft Blue Glow in Low Light: In dim environments, the foliage may display a subtle blue luminescence, adding to its enchanting appearance.

• Thrives in Humid Settings: Best suited for high-humidity environments such as terrariums, glass domes, or greenhouses, where it flourishes with ease.

Care Tips for Begonia sp. Pandora:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can damage the delicate leaves and dull the fluorescent spots.

• Temperature: The optimal growth temperature is between 18°C and 25°C (64°F to 77°F).

• Humidity: Requires high humidity levels above 70%. If the surrounding air is too dry, using a humidifier will help maintain the necessary moisture for optimal growth.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot and fungal issues.

• Soil: Use a well-draining, acidic mix such as sphagnum moss, perlite, and peat to create the best growing environment.
