Lil' Begonia Butterfly
The Lil' Butterfly Begonia, or Begonia Amphioxus ‘Butterfly’ is a unique and beautiful houseplant with striking red polka-dotted foliage. This diva requires an expert touch and isn't afraid to demand you live up to its high standards. When it first arrives, your Lil' Butterfly Begonia will likely be horrified at the turn of events - "you call that first class delivery?" - and, therefore, it will drop its leaves for at least a month in protest. However, once it realises how lovely its new home it will start to thrive. Ideally, keep it in your bathroom, kitchen, or even a terrarium, since it loves humidity and enclosed spaces.
All divas know that bright, indirect light, plenty of shade, and drinking water regularly are the best ways to keep skin and foliage healthy - sunspots are out, polka dots are in. The Pink Spotted Begonia originates from Southeast Asia so it prefers temperatures between 15-27°C but can tolerate as low as 10°C. This Lil' Prick doesn't like sharing you with anyone else (how else would you have time to cater to its needs?) so keep away from pets and little Pricklettes. While the Begonia Amphioxus might be hard work - we think it's well worth the challenge!
