📌 Note: Begonias are sensitive plants to handling and transport. Leaves may show defects, tears, imperfect edges, spots, or other marks that appear during transport or as a result of adapting to the 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.
