Begonia sizemoreae (longiciliata) in 12 cm pot

Begonia sizemoreae (longiciliata)

Begonia sizemoreae, also known as Begonia longiciliata, is a striking species begonia admired for its elongated leaves, deep veining, and fine hair-like cilia along the margins and stems. The foliage has a soft, velvety texture with rich green tones and contrasting red undersides, giving it a refined yet exotic appearance.

This begonia is best suited to warm, humid environments where its delicate foliage can thrive. It makes an excellent choice for collectors, terrariums, or sheltered indoor displays with stable conditions.
