Begonia amphioxus × malachosticta is an exceptionally rare and dramatic hybrid begonia prized for its elongated spotted foliage and bold tropical colouring. Combining the narrow winged leaves of Begonia amphioxus with the textured spotted characteristics of Begonia malachosticta, this collector plant has an almost otherworldly appearance. Its unusual foliage makes it a standout choice for terrariums, cabinets, and high-humidity plant collections.
Plant Care Light: Prefers bright, indirect light - too much sun will scorch the leaves, too little and it may become leggy.
Watering: Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Let the top 1–2cm dry out between waterings. Use filtered or rainwater for best results.
Temperature: Likes it warm - 18-26°C is ideal. Keep above 16°C and avoid draughts.
Potting: Our Thirst Trap mix is perfect moisture- retentive yet airy to protect those delicate roots.
Hot tips: Loves humidity - ideal for terrariums or warm bathrooms. Prone to leaf melt in cold or dry conditions, so avoid temperature drops.
Pet Friendly: No
