Its broad, asymmetrical leaves are deep green with a strongly puckered surface and contrasting reddish tones to the stems and undersides. The combination gives it a wonderfully wild, botanical look that stands apart from more familiar cultivated begonias.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt prefers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebright, indirect light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and appreciates consistently warm conditions with moderate to high humidity. Keep the potting mix lightly moist but well aerated, allowing the upper layer to begin drying before watering again. A loose mix rich in organic matter with plenty of perlite, bark or other chunky material works well.
