Terrarium Plant: Begonia dregei “Tweedle Dee”

This plant is an excellent choice for both terrariums and as a houseplant. When kept in a terrarium with good light it is a fast grower with beautiful bright lime green foliage. The leaves are serrated much like a Maple leaf, and it has white polkadots and red accents at the edges. It is also grown by man as a bonsai and will eventually grow a thick trunk-like center stem. Responds very well to pruning. It’s not overly fussy about humidity but needs to be adjusted slowly to any extremes, especially low humidity. Prefers consistently moist peat-based soil. Note that the soil should not be sopping wet, but like a damp dish sponge. In my experience it it doesn’t like the soil to become bone dry though it may tolerate it for a day or two. Propagated easily from cuttings. Flowers are white with yellow centers and is free flowering year round.
Mature height: approx 8-16” (possibly more)

You will receive a healthy rooted plant.
