Begonia sp. Borneo is a rare and exotic species native to the lush, tropical rainforests of Borneo. This begonia is celebrated for its dramatic, velvety foliage—often dark green to deep burgundy—with intricate veining and a slight iridescence that shimmers in the light. Many forms also display contrasting undersides in shades of red or purple, adding to its visual allure.

This plant thrives in warm, humid environments with bright, indirect light. It prefers a well-draining, airy mix rich in organic matter—such as peat, perlite, and orchid bark—and should be kept evenly moist but never soggy. High humidity (60% or more) and good airflow are essential for maintaining its leaf quality and preventing fungal issues.

Due to its sensitivity to low humidity and cooler temperatures, Begonia sp. Borneo is best suited for terrariums, greenhouse conditions, or carefully controlled indoor setups. With proper care, it rewards growers with lush, jewel-toned foliage and a truly wild, tropical presence—making it a prized specimen for collectors and foliage enthusiasts alike.
