Introducing the stunning Begonia U696 (Begonia sp. Maura Wahau), a rare and unique species native to the Muara Wahau region in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. This Begonia stands out with its vibrant green leaves, which are adorned with eye-catching pink spots, creating a beautiful, speckled pattern that changes with the light. Perfect for plant collectors or enthusiasts looking for something extraordinary, this species thrives in tropical conditions and is ideal for growing in humid, controlled environments.

Care Instructions:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.

  • Temperature: Best suited for temperatures between 20°C and 25°C (68°F - 77°F). It’s important to maintain a warm, consistent temperature for optimal growth.

  • Humidity: Requires high humidity levels, ideally over 80%. It thrives in tropical environments, making it perfect for terrariums or humidified rooms.

  • Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Ensure that the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging and root rot.

  • Soil: Prefers well-draining, organic-rich soil. A mix of peat moss and perlite works well for maintaining moisture without waterlogging.

  • Fertilizing: Apply a diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and vibrant foliage.

Additional Notes: Begonia sp. Maura Wahau is an eye-catching and rare plant that will make a stunning addition to any collection.
