The primary highlight of this begonia is its foliage, which is both richly textured and visually striking. The leaves are round to oval, measuring about 2 inches, and display a unique combination of colors and patterns. They range from deep olive-green to dark green or even black, sometimes with a purple hue. This dark coloration is beautifully contrasted by shimmery silver-green veins and a vivid scarlet reverse. These stunning features combine to create a captivating display of texture and color, making Begonia ningmingensis var. bella a highly sought-after plant.

Begonia ningmingensis var. bella thrives in environments with high humidity and dappled light or partial shade. While it can be grown in open greenhouses, a terrarium or light garden is ideal for creating the preferred humid conditions, which should ideally be above 60%.

Feed every two weeks from early spring through summer with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer.

Watering: Keep the soil consistantly moist, not soggy.
