📌 Note: Begonias are sensitive plants when it comes to handling and transport. Leaves may show defects, tears, imperfect edges, spots, or other marks that appear during transport or as a result of acclimating to a new environment. These aspects are common in begonias and do not affect the plant’s viability. Under optimal growing conditions, the plant will continuously produce new leaves.
