General Information and Care: Begonia minutifolia is a beautiful small growing species from the Crystal Mountains in Gabon. The leaves on this species do not exceed ½” in length or width. Additionally, it grows fantastically in typical terrarium conditions, and even does well in slightly swampy conditions. The beautiful red stems hold deeply serrated bright green leaves.
