Begonia (sp. Sarawak ‘Spots’ × sp. Mantuk)

Begonia (sp. Sarawak ‘Spots’ × sp. Mantuk) features green to brown foliage adorned with silver-white spots, while the leaf margins are also edged in silver-white, giving the leaves a refined, high-contrast appearance.

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top layer to slightly dry between waterings.

• Humidity: Prefers high humidity. Performs best in a terrarium, cabinet, or humid growing space.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions, ideally 18–28 °C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15 °C.

• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy substrate (peat or coco peat mixed with perlite and bark).

• Airflow: Gentle airflow is important to prevent fungal issues, especially in high humidity.

• Fertilizer: Feed lightly during active growth with a diluted balanced fertilizer.
