Begonia Rex 'Ferox'
The Begonia Ferox: A Rare Beauty from Asia's Limestone Regions
Among the vast array of begonias, the Begonia ferox, aptly named the "fierce Begonia", carves out a distinct identity. Indigenous to the limestone terrains of China, its ferociously bullated leaves make it a must-have for any begonia aficionado.
The Ferox sets itself apart with its distinctly pointed leaves, featuring a sharply acuminate apex. Patience is required as the iconic bullae of the Begonia ferox take a bit longer to manifest than its counterparts.
- Rare Origin: Native to the limestone regions of Asia, offering a touch of exoticism to plant enthusiasts.
- For optimal growth, position this begonia in an environment with high humidity, like that of an enclosed terrarium, ensuring it still benefits from air circulation.
- Distinctive Foliage: Ferociously bullated leaves that stand out in any collection.
- Sharp Leaf Design: Leaves culminate in a sharply acuminate apex, adding a unique aesthetic.
- Terrarium-Friendly: Thrives in high-humidity environments, making it ideal for enclosed terrariums.
