Description

The Begonia microsperma is a rare African Begonia species, admired for its delicate, asymmetrical leaves and compact growth habit. Its foliage is typically bright green with fine veining, giving it a refined, elegant look that works beautifully in terrariums or as part of an exotic houseplant collection.

Thriving in warm, humid environments with indirect light, B. microsperma prefers a consistently moist but well-draining substrate. Good humidity and gentle airflow will help maintain healthy leaves and steady growth. Its smaller size makes it particularly well-suited for terrariums and vivarium displays.

With its subtle beauty, rarity, and manageable care requirements, the Begonia microsperma is a perfect choice for collectors and plant enthusiasts looking to expand into unusual African species.
