Begonia amphioxus x malachosticta
Begonia amphioxus x malachosticta is a rare and highly collectable hybrid begonia prized for its dramatic foliage and exotic appearance. Its narrow, asymmetrical green leaves are heavily speckled with vivid pink spots, creating an almost hand-painted effect that becomes even more intense in bright conditions.
This spectacular hybrid combines the best traits of two Bornean species, producing a compact yet striking plant ideal for terrariums, glass domes or humid indoor displays.
