Description

The Begonia ningmingensis is a highly sought-after species, admired for its unique textured foliage and striking colouration. Leaves often display bold patterns with deep green to almost black tones, accented by lighter veining or contrasting patches, making each plant a natural work of art.

Native to the subtropical forests of Guangxi, China, this Begonia thrives in warm, humid conditions with indirect light. It prefers consistently moist but well-draining substrate and benefits from good air circulation to prevent leaf issues. Its compact form makes it a fantastic choice for terrariums, vivariums, or specialist Begonia collections.

With its intricate leaf patterns and rarity in cultivation, the Begonia ningmingensis is a true collector’s plant, perfect for enthusiasts looking to add something unusual and eye-catching to their displays.
