Begonia sizemoreae is a unique and rare begonia named after the woman who first described it. In the wild, this plant only grows on a single mountain in northern Vietnam, giving it an exclusive and unique character. This begonia is known for its decorative appearance and is surprisingly easy to care for, making it suitable for both novice and experienced plant lovers. What makes Begonia sizemoreae instantly recognizable are its sturdy, deep green leaves with light green, rounded markings. The leaves and petioles are covered with striking, long, white hairs that contrast sharply with the red-tinged stems. This creates a unique texture and an almost velvety appearance. The leaves also have an asymmetrical shape, which gives this plant extra character and sets it apart from other begonias. During flowering, Begonia sizemoreae develops graceful pink flowers with four petals. At the center of the flower is a yellow cluster of stamens or a stigma in the same color, creating a beautiful contrast with the soft flower tones. The combination of the unique leaf markings, the striking hairiness, and the subtle blooms makes this begonia a real eye-catcher in any collection.

You don't have to be an experienced begonia enthusiast to successfully grow Begonia sizemoreae. The plant prefers a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight. However, you must ensure that the temperature can drop below 5°C (41°F), as this can be fatal. Also, ensure that the temperature doesn't exceed 30°C (86°F). A humidity of 70% during the day is sufficient. At night, it should be slightly higher, around 90%. Water the plant only when the top layer of soil has dried out slightly. If you're purchasing the plant for your terrarium, it's best to ensure good air circulation to prevent diseases and infections. A suitable substrate is a mix containing peat.
