Begonia amphioxus x ignita is an unnamed hybrid created by crossing two species (B. amphioxus with B. ignita) making an exquisite and exotic Begonia with a shrub-like growth habit. The flowers are orange and appear scattered among the foliage. The leaves have a deep bronze center with pink/red edges and spots throughout. This hybrid needs extra humidity and is usually grown in a terrarium.
Care of Begonia amphioxus x ignita:
- Partial shade to bright indirect; grows well under grow lights but coloration may vary
- 65% plus humidity - enclosure/cloche/terrarium highly recommended
- Temp. 65 to 85 degrees F
- Prefers to be snug in its pot.
- Allow plant to get slightly dry between watering; if grown in a terrarium/enclosure with excess (80%+) humidity - likely significantly less watering will be needed
- Will grow best in an enclosed container.
Family: Begoniaceae
This plant is shipped in a 3-4 inch pot.
