Leaves when reaching maturity have black-brown colour and hairy bullae with red tips emerge which look like claws or teeth but are soft to the touch.
Begonia prefers bright, indirect sunlight and should be watered regularly when the soil dries out. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s important to allow the soil to dry out before watering again. The Begonia Ferox also benefits from occasional fertilization with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. It would make also an amazing terrarium plant!
