Begonia burkillii ‘Silver’ is a stunning and rare species celebrated for its striking foliage. The heart-shaped, velvety leaves emerge in deep olive-green tones and gradually develop a silvery overlay as they mature, highlighted by contrasting burgundy undersides and stems. This natural shimmer gives the plant an elegant, luminous quality that instantly draws the eye in any indoor display.

This begonia thrives in bright, indirect light and higher humidity, making it an excellent choice for terrariums, greenhouse setups, or well-humidified areas. It prefers a well-draining, airy soil mix—such as peat moss combined with perlite and orchid bark—and benefits from consistent moisture without becoming waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between thorough waterings and protect it from drafts and temperature extremes.

With its compact, low-growing habit and luxurious silvery foliage, Begonia burkillii ‘Silver’ is a show-stopping yet manageable addition to any plant collection. It offers easy care, textural elegance, and refined beauty—ideal for both seasoned collectors and newcomers seeking a touch of botanical glamour.
