Begonia luxurians (Begonia fibrous species)

Begonia luxurians (Begonia fibrous species)
Unusual palmate leaves with a draping style makes this stunning plant a must have in any home environment. Reminiscent of a character in a “Dr. Seuss” book, the plumes of white flowers, which emerge in late spring through summer add to its appeal. This upright fibrous species comes from the rainforest of Brazil and can grow up to 8-10’ tall but with judicious pruning, it is just as happy in a smaller pot. Prune during the active growing season or after flowering. Also, avoid high heat yet give partial sun and bright light for best growing results.
