This Begonia thrives in high-humidity environments and is ideal for terrariums or controlled greenhouse settings.

Care Instructions:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Keep the light intensity between 600 - 1000 LUX. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it is best to avoid it.

  • Temperature: The optimal growth temperature is between 20°C and 25°C (68°F - 77°F).

  • Humidity: Begonia sp. Sarawak ‘Spots’ thrives in high humidity, especially during its juvenile stage. A humidity level above 90% is recommended for optimal growth.

  • Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging, as stagnant water can cause root rot. Ensure the pot has good drainage.

  • Soil: Prefers well-draining, organic-rich soil. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and sphagnum moss provides the ideal growing medium.

  • Fertilizing: During the growing season, apply a diluted liquid fertilizer once a month to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage.

Additional Notes: This Begonia requires specific care and a stable environment, especially during the juvenile stage. It is best grown in a humid, controlled environment, such as a greenhouse or terrarium. The plant may drop some leaves during shipping, but this is completely normal and does not affect its overall health.
