About

Begonia chlorosticta is a rare Bornean rainforest understory species originating from Sarawak, Borneo. It thrives in deep shade on moist, well-drained, humus-rich substrate among leaf litter. High humidity and stable warmth are essential, reflecting its native tropical forest environment. This rhizomatous begonia features striking dark foliage patterned with luminous lime-green spots. Its leaves are asymmetrical, ovate to heart-ovate, and subtly bullate, supported by reddish petioles with deep red undersides. Growth is from a creeping rhizome at the substrate surface, forming compact clumps on the forest floor.
