Bulbils are tiny, self-producing plantlets that form in the leaf axils (where the leaf stem meets the main stem) of Begonia ‘Torsa’ as the plant matures.
Unlike seeds, these bulbil structures are miniature tubers — essentially baby versions of the plant that can grow into full plants.
When the bulbils eventually detach and fall into the soil, they can sprout in spring if left uncovered.

This begonia type is a tuberous perennial hybrid with:
Very large, dramatic green leaves (up to ~40–50 cm across).
Pale pink flowers in late summer and autumn.
Hardy characteristics similar to B. grandis, with bulbils forming in autumn that are excellent for propagation.
