The Begonia ficifolia originates from tropical Africa and is one of the most unique leaf begonias. The name ficifolia literally means "fig-like leaf," referring to its characteristic leaf shape. In its natural habitat, this begonia grows in warm, humid forests—conditions you can easily recreate at home in a terrarium or a bright living room environment. This species is on the Red List of Threatened Plants, which makes it even more special. By caring for a specimen, you contribute to the preservation of this unique cultivated species.

The Begonia ficifolia thrives in medium light, warm temperatures, and high humidity. It thrives in a terrarium, but also thrives as a houseplant with a little extra attention. Water: Keep the potting soil slightly moist, but avoid wet feet. Preferably, use lukewarm water. Light: Place in a bright spot, out of direct sunlight. Humidity: Especially during the winter months, a humidity above 60% is ideal. Care tip: Avoid rotating the plant on a windowsill – the delicate flower stems can break when they try to reorient themselves towards the light. With its unique leaf structure and warm appearance, the Begonia ficifolia is a real eye-catcher for plant lovers and terrarium keepers.
