Description

The Begonia thelmae is a charming and compact species, loved for its small, textured leaves and bushy growth habit. Its foliage ranges from deep green to reddish tones, often with subtle veining that gives the plant an attractive, natural appearance. Thanks to its size and growth style, it works beautifully in terrariums and vivarium displays.

Native to Brazil, this Begonia thrives in warm, humid conditions with bright, indirect light. It prefers a consistently moist but well-draining substrate and benefits from stable humidity levels, making it well suited to closed terrarium environments.
