Begonia Koelzii

Description

Begonia koelzii is an extraordinary and sought-after species, treasured for its lush, deeply textured foliage and refined floral display. Native to montane forests, this rare begonia thrives in high-humidity environments, where its rich green leaves develop striking venation and a slight iridescence. The undersides of the leaves often feature subtle red to burgundy tones, adding an extra layer of visual appeal.

In late summer and fall, Begonia koelzii produces elegant, arching sprays of soft pink flowers, enhancing its already stunning foliage. With a compact growth habit, it is ideal for container gardening, shaded rockeries, and terrariums. Preferring partial to full shade, it flourishes in moist, well-draining, humus-rich soil. Its adaptability to indoor conditions makes it an excellent choice for collectors and houseplant enthusiasts who seek unique and rare species.
