Begonia sp. dongoranensis – frunzis exotic, textura spectaculoasa

Begonia sp. dongoranensis is a rare botanical begonia, valued for its exotic foliage and striking texture, with pronounced relief and strongly highlighted veins. In the right light, the leaves take on an almost "sculptural" effect, making it an ideal accent piece for indoor collections focused on foliage.

🌿 Botanical characteristics:

• Family: Begoniaceae

• Type: botanical begonia (sp. – name used for unfinished forms/identifications at species level)

• Origin: Southeast Asia (commonly grown as a rare botanical form)

• Leaves: oval-elongated, with deep veins and textured relief; shade can vary from dark green to bronze/olive tones depending on light

• Habit: compact, decorative through foliage, with gradual growth

☀️ Growing and care conditions:

• Light: strong indirect light, filtered; avoid direct sun (can burn or fade the leaves)

• Watering: moderate; keep the substrate slightly moist, but allow the top layer to dry partially between waterings

• Humidity: prefers high humidity and steady air; in very dry air, leaf edges may turn slightly brown

• Temperature: 18–26°C; avoid drops below 15°C and cold drafts

• Substrate: very airy and well-drained (mix with peat/coconut fiber + perlite + fine bark), to prevent water stagnation at the roots

💚 Advantages:

• Rare texture and striking relief of the leaves, with an exotic look

• Strong visual impact even without flowers, perfect for indoor decoration

• Suitable for urban jungle type spaces, display windows, or bright corners with filtered light and more constant humidity

⚠️ Note: Begonia leaves may show small imperfections caused by transport or humidity differences. These do not affect the plant’s health or viability.
