General Information and Care: Begonia rajah is one of the most unique foliage options that Glass Box Tropicals offers! This plant is rarely seen for sale, so do not pass up the opportunity when it is in stock! This Begonia sp. offers a very unique iridescent coloration on the foliage! This plant prefers a warm, humid environment and occasionally flowers.
This Begonia is one of the more particular species that Glass Box Tropicals offers. It does not appreciate cold water, nor does it like water to be constantly on its leaves. It is also prone to dropping all of it leaves for no apparent reason. Often, those leaves may root though so they should not be moved or discarded if possible. Overall a species recommended for the more experienced plant enthusiast.
This plant is guaranteed to arrive alive; however, it does not come with the 7-day guarantee due to the extremely demanding nature of this plant.
