Begonia barsalouxiae

Begonia barsalouxiae
Family: Begoniaceae
Begonia barsalouxiae is a foliage-focused begonia valued for its textured leaves and compact, clumping growth habit. Like many begonias, it is grown primarily for its ornamental foliage rather than flowers, making it well suited to indoor collections and shaded greenhouse conditions.
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun which can scorch leaves and fade coloration.
💧 Water: Every 7–10 days; keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
🌾 Fertilizer: Feed every 3–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer at half strength.
🪴 Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when rootbound; use a well-draining, airy mix (peat or coco coir + perlite).
🌿 Tip: Prefers moderate to high humidity with good airflow; avoid wetting the leaves to prevent fungal issues.
