DESCRIPTION
One of the most dramatic leaves in the world of begonias, Begonia ferox is a highly sought after rare plant. It has spiky raised cones on the leaves, known as bullae, that are not sharp to the touch. The bullae develop as the leaves mature. Originally from the rainforest understory in the limestone regions of China, it closely resembles B. melanobullata. Begonia ferox thrives in high humidity and adapts well to terrarium life.
