Begonia Ferox

If Mother Nature had a punk phase, Begonia ferox would be her masterpiece. This jaw-dropping species hails from limestone-rich forests in Guangxi, China, and is known for its dramatically textured leaves, which develop fierce, dark conical bullae (spikes) as they mature. But don’t be fooled—those spikes are all bark, no bite. They’re a visual defense, not a physical one.

With deep emerald leaves, iridescent undersides, and wild prehistoric vibes, Begonia ferox is an absolute conversation piece. It’s ideal for collectors, terrarium enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a plant with serious attitude and personality.
