Begonia sizemoreae

This one is in a terrarium. Though I do not find terrarium culture is required, as I grow others in a protected west facing window with approximately 50%-60% humidity on average (zone 10b). Too much sustained humidity (over 80%/85%) in the terrarium, without causes visible leaf damage. I do find that terrarium culture makes for pretty leaves.

As leaves age,the distinctive markings tend to fade.

Over time,I have become more comfortable removing old and damaged leaves from my begonias. They are generally quite vigorous. And quickly fill in with new growth.
