Groeiwijze

In some species, the color of the leaves is so intense that they appear almost luminous. What many species have in common is a lobe behind the attachment with the leaf stem on one side of the leaf, giving them an asymmetrical shape. Some are slightly hairy, some a bit more so. There are begonias that can grow as tall as meters and there are species that can fit in even the smallest terrarium. Some can withstand cold conditions and others need a tropical climate. In short, when it comes to begonias, there is something for everyone.

The genus Begonia has nearly 1,800 species, making it the sixth largest group of flowering plants in existence. They are found almost all over the world. From the high peaks of the Andes and the tropical forests of Malaysia and Africa, to the maritime forests of Brazil and Central America. The flowers can be as spectacular as the leaves, with their mostly white-pink color. However, there are also varieties where the flowers are a fiery red, bright yellow or bright orange color. These are often varieties bred specifically for this characteristic. You notice. It is not for nothing that this plant group is so believed by plant enthusiasts. Moreover, most begonias are easy to handle, so you can enjoy them for a long time.
