Begonia malachosticta (Begonia species)
This Malaysian species
is a cane or Angel Wing begonia
with upright growth that is
easily managed at a height of
12 to 18” tall. The mature leaves
are deep green with pink spots,
somewhat pointed and slender
while the younger leaves have
a light reddish tone. The stems
and leaf petioles are red, and the
flowers are somewhat inconspicuous,
hiding under the foliage.
Humidity is a plus for Begonia
malachosticta.
