This Begonia is out of this world (though can be found in parts of Malaysia). While the foliage appears slightly red, if you shine a light on it the iridescence on the leaves shines bright BLUE (which can be best seen on camera video). Very special among Begonia species!
Care:
Begonias don't need any direct sun, though do need a bright filtered light to keep them happy. They also like to be watered when the 2-3 inches is dry which is roughly every 7-10 days. If they ever wilt, usually they will pop right back up within a few hours of watering! If ever repotted, they do best a HEAVY ratio of perlite to soil. Though we have found best results for growing begonias to be avoid repotting altogether.
