About
Begonia bogneri is a miniature begonia species native to humid rocky habitats in Madagascar. It thrives in warm conditions with bright, filtered light and requires a sharply drained substrate with consistent atmospheric humidity. This highly distinctive rhizomatous begonia forms a compact base with a tuft of very narrow linear leaves borne on fine reddish petioles. Its unique grass-like habit and miniature scale make it one of the most unusual species found in cultivation.
