Begonia Silver Jewel
€18 · Coming soon
A rhizomatous begonia with asymmetrical heart-shaped leaves, dark green crossed by silver rays that shift with the angle of the light. It will live in a room if the air is not dry, but it is at its best in a cabinet or a humid case, where the surface stays intact and the pattern keeps its shine.
