Please Note: This species requires terrarium conditions.

Begonias are notoriously fussy and are prone to die back or ‘melting’ when shipped. We pack with care but expect some level of die back when you receive the plant. With appropriate care the plant will grow back stronger and be more suited to the conditions you provide. Only purchase if you are confident in your ability to care for this plant.

Fiind o planta delicata, poate prezenta imperfectiuni pe frunze, naturale pentru specie si accentuate uneori de transport. Acestea nu afecteaza viabilitatea plantei.

Nota: Begoniile mici de terariu sunt plante sensibile si fragile, comercializate in stadiu de babyplant. Frunzisul poate ajunge cu defecte estetice evidente dupa transport, inclusiv frunze patate, indoite, rupte partial, arse pe margini, uscate pe alocuri sau deteriorate prin frecare si manipulare. Aceste aspecte sunt considerate normale pentru aceasta categorie de plante si nu afecteaza viabilitatea exemplarului, daca planta are baza sanatoasa. Recomandam achizitionarea acestor begonii doar de catre persoane care inteleg sensibilitatea plantelor de terariu si pot asigura umiditate ridicata, temperatura stabila si lumina indirecta.
