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.

Humidity: Especially during the winter months, a humidity above 60% is ideal.
