Begonia salaziensis is a tropical species indigenous to Madagascar and Réunion Islands. The plant often grows there on trees and other large shrubs to find support for its stem. The leaves are uniform in color and have deeper veins. The flowers of Begonia salaziensis differ somewhat from those of many other begonias. The stamens are in a circle instead of in a bundle. The white petals are also fleshier than average.
Begonia salaziensis is fairly easy to care for. Avoid direct sunlight in the summer, keep temperature between 20⁰C and 24⁰C, and the humidity between 70% -80%. Mist the plant regularly if the humidity is lower. Water, using lukewarm water, when the top layer of the soil starts to dry. A mix of peat with perlite is a suitable substrate to prevent wet soil. You can find this and other growing supplies under the 'plant accessories' section. Fertilize the Begonia salziensis twice a month. You can prune the plant when it becomes too large.
