๐ฆ๐ง๐จ๐ก๐ก๐๐ฅ! Begonia Metallicolor, a striking species from ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ป, ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ธ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐ผ, dazzles with its ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ blue leaves. This terrestrial, monoecious begonia features stems that are covered in red strigose hairs and has leaves that shine with metallic indigo blue to malachite green hues. The plant's natural habitat is the deeply shaded understorey of dipterocarp forests at elevations between 100 and 400 meters.This specie requires careful attention to replicate its native humid, tropical environment. It thrives in indirect, filtered light and high humidity, akin to the understorey of Borneo's rainforests. I grow it under ๐ญ.๐ด๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐บ ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌยบ๐ ๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐, about 60 cm distance and I feel it's the maximum strength for this plant to thrive.
