Begonia

Begonia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Begoniaceae, renowned for its more than 1,500 different species, often cultivated as ornamental plants due to the vibrant beauty of its leaves and flowers. Begonia leaves come in an incredibly diverse range of shapes and patterns – from spirals and silver spots to metallic sheen – making this genus one of the most sought-after ornamental foliage plants in the world.

Begonias are divided into several groups such as rhizomatous Begonias, cane-like Begonias, and rex Begonias. Each group has slightly different care requirements, but generally they prefer high humidity, indirect light, and avoiding direct watering of the leaves to limit fungal diseases.

With its diverse appearance and adaptability indoors, Begonia is an ideal choice for those who want to create a colorful green space without needing a lot of room.
