Taiwanese begonia
Taiwanese begonia
the Taiwan Begonia is native to the island of Taiwan, located off the east coast of China. This begonia grows primarily in the humid, mountainous forests of the island, where it thrives in shady, moist environments.
Taiwan Begonia is a perennial plant that produces ornamental leaves and delicate flowers. The leaves are edged with serrated or wavy margins that add interest to the plant.
Its flowers are small and appear in clusters on thin stems. They can be white, pink or red and add a touch of color and grace to the plant. While the flowers may not be as showy as those of other begonias, they still contribute to the overall beauty of the plant.
The Taiwanese Begonia is grown mainly as an ornamental plant indoors and can also be cared for inside the terrarium.
