Begonia foliosa "Miniata"

Begonia foliosa "Miniata" is a variety of begonia belonging to the Begoniaceae family, native to Venezuela and Ecuador that grows like a fern. Very beautiful as a hanging plant in the terrarium.

Begonia foliosa 'Miniata' is known for its dark green, shiny, lanceolate leaves, which grow on thin, climbing stems. The leaves are usually edged in red or with red veins that are accentuated under certain light conditions. This feature adds a pop of color and interest to the plant's leaves.

This begonia requires a bright but indirect position, with filtered sunlight, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It is important to keep the soil moist but not too wet, as begonia roots are susceptible to rot. Environmental humidity is important for this plant, so periodic misting of the leaves can be useful especially in environments with dry air.

With proper care, it can be a beautiful addition to a plant collection, bringing a lively, tropical touch to home environments.
