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.

Begonia Erythrophylla a houseplant normally grown for its foliage and commonly known as Beefsteak Begonia.

hybrid of B. pustulata

While I get much better seed production for the B. sizemoreae in the sun room, she is prettiest in this tank. I always use her as pollen donor for my other sizemoreae.

These are the begonias Gracie guards for us. There are two pots here, a larger one closer to the house, and a smaller one in front of it. There are five plants in the larger pot and three plants in the smaller pot. Taken by Edgar.

Begonias are generally monoecious this means that they produce separate male and female flowers on the same plant

The yellow part of this image is the stigma - the receptive part of the female reproductive structures of flowers, where the male pollen is deposited and germinates. its surface is covered by small papillae.
