The Begonia polygonoides distinguishes itself from other Begonias with its elongated, pointed leaves and graceful growth habit. Instead of heart-shaped leaves, this species has narrow, pointed leaves with a fresh green color and red-tinged stems. During flowering, numerous white flowers with a striking yellow center appear , emerging gracefully from the leaf axils. This Begonia is not only a visual eye-catcher but also surprisingly easy to care for – perfect for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. Background information: The Begonia polygonoides is an epiphytic species from Africa, meaning it naturally grows on other trees and plants without damaging them. In its natural habitat, it forms long, drooping stems covered with small white flowers, creating an almost waterfall-like effect in the wild. The leaves are narrower than those of most Begonia species and contrast beautifully with the reddish stems. This compact growth and airy root structure make it particularly well-suited for a terrarium environment, where it thrives in sufficient light, warmth, and humidity.

Begonia polygonoides needs plenty of light to grow well and is ideal for the terrarium. However, too much sunlight can cause the plant to dry out, so be careful. The plant needs a temperature above 10°C and below 30°C. Ideally, this should be between 20-25°C. A humidity of around 70% during the day and around 90% at night is sufficient. Allow the soil to dry slightly before watering again. If the humidity in the room is somewhat low, you can place the pot in a saucer with standing water. Feed Begonia polygonoides with a small amount of plant food once or twice a month. Good air circulation in a terrarium helps prevent diseases and infections. A mix of peat and perlite is recommended as a substrate. We offer several of these mixes in our "plant accessories" section. It's wise to train the somewhat fragile stems or let them hang from a raised pot. You can also prune the stems if they become too long.
