Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, Begonia luxurians, sometimes called palm leaf begonia. This beautiful plant looks like a palm tree with large leaves, coppery undersides, on redish-purple, cane-like stems. In suitable conditions can reach up to 3 meters.

Thrives in medium-high humidity in indirect light.

Plant in a terracotta pot, the saucer not included. 

One of the most unusual-looking plants which is extremely easy to care for! Perfect for beginners or as a gift. This native to Brasil houseplant comes with a rustic terracotta pot.

 

Begonia has very fragile leaves, there are some cosmetic damages on the leaves but it does not impact on the health of the amazing plant!

 

Keep the plant in bright indirect sunlight, and water when around 50% of the soil dries out. The plant thrives with higher humidity, it’s perfect for terrarium but it’s totally fine in average household humidity.

This plant is toxic if eaten by pets

How often should I water my Begonia luxurians?
Water this plant when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Ensure thorough watering, allowing excess water to drain away, and wait until the soil partially dries out before watering again.
Is the Begonia luxurians suitable for terrariums?
Yes, it thrives well in terrarium environments due to its preference for high humidity levels, which are naturally maintained within a terrarium. However, ensure it has enough space to grow, as it can reach up to 3 meters in ideal conditions.
Can I place my Begonia luxurians in direct sunlight?
No, it should be kept in bright but indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can hinder its growth.
