Begonia 'Pink Flame' (Botanicaz 19) is a cultivated hybrid created by crossing Begonia amphioxus with Begonia ignita. This pairing combines the dramatic spotting and elongated leaf shape of B. amphioxus with the rich coloration and vigorous growth of B. ignita, resulting in one of the most striking foliage begonias available to collectors.
Like both parent species, it appreciates conditions similar to the tropical rainforests of Borneo, where they naturally grow beneath the forest canopy in warm, humid conditions. For best results, provide:
🌿 Bright, indirect light 🌿 High humidity (60–80% preferred) 🌿 A chunky, well-draining substrate 🌿 Consistently moist—but never soggy—soil
Think the warm, humid understory of a tropical rainforest, where filtered light, gentle airflow, and organic forest debris create the perfect environment for growth.
