Begonia foliosa manages to stand far out from the stereotypical cane type Begonia, being that it is absolutely miniscule. With the full appearance of species like B. maculata, this minute wonder is essentially just the same amazing plant in a much smaller package. Begonia care is easy, with this dollhouse sized shrub the case is no different; a loamy, gritty soil, and actually a preference for lower humidity. This species is a go-to for ‘fairy gardens’, bowl arrangements, and even desktop terrariums. Propagations are easy via the process of just snapping off branches and sticking them in sphagnum; they root quickly and produce equally adorable shrubs to be shared with fellow terrarium enthusiasts. For those who want the appearance of a cane Begonia, but prefer a smaller size; or even for those who want to fill the tree-shaped void in their terrarium, Begonia foliosa is the perfect fit.
