Begonia ‘Richardsiana’ (Begonia dregei ‘Richardsiana’)
2 reviews
$24.95
Perfect for bonsai or just potted on the windowsill, this semi-tuberous begonia species from South Africa brings sculptured form to the indoor garden. Although first brought into cultivation in the 1860’s, this begonia has never yet received the recognition deserving of this adaptable houseplant. Begonia ‘Richardsiana’ has small maple-shaped leaves and it flowers freely from spring to fall with the pearly white blossoms hanging like jewels among the sprawling branches. A swollen trunk or caudex develops on older plants giving it unique form.
The 2.5" plant is shipped in a 2.5" plastic pot; the 3" is shipped in a 3" glazed ceramic bonsai pot. (Pots vary in color and shape.)

Terrie What I thought would be one of my least favorite begonias has turned into one of my favorites. It's really beautiful! I wish I could attach a photo.

Nicholas I've had this begonia for a year now and it is doing GREAT! It is so cute and has dealt with a pretty harsh thrashing from the cat, a big environment change, and a wide range of humidity and amount of virtual light and sunlight. I had expected it to be pretty upset with me after everything it has been through, but has surpassed all expectations and handled everything VERY well, has grown a LOT, and is currently flowering on the windowsill. Definitely a hardy and lovely plant.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful update, Nicholas! We're thrilled to hear your Begonia Richardsiana has thrived through all those adventures—cat attacks, moves, and variable light included—and is now rewarding you with beautiful flowers. This is exactly the kind of resilient, easy-going plant we love to send out into the world, and your care clearly shows! We'd love to see a photo if you ever feel like sharing.
