Begonia Ferox is one of the most striking and unique species in the begonia genus, known for its distinctive, spiky leaves and dark, dramatic color tone.

This plant immediately draws attention with its deep green leaves, which are covered in small, raised black spines that give it an almost sculptural appearance. Historically, Begonia Ferox comes from the limestone-rich karst mountains of southern China, where it grows in shady and humid environments. It was discovered relatively recently and has quickly become a sought-after plant.

Care: Begonia Ferox thrives best in a well-drained soil mixture that is moist but not wet, e.g. our peat-free soil . It prefers indirect light and high humidity. Water regularly, but make sure the soil is allowed to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
