Beg. amphioxus


(Begonia amphioxus) Very exotic species!  Tiny, shrub-like grower with tender stems and narrow, pointed, green leaves with maroon spotting.  Greenish flowers.  Very unusual and collectible.  Requires high humidity, so does best in a terrarium.  Not for the novice grower.

Beg. amphioxus

Average Rating 5 out of 5

Wow!

First order with Violet Barn, and very impressed! I've ordered plants from several sites and their packing/shipping is exceptional. My plants arrived in perfect condition. Bought this guy to grow out/propagate for my terrariums. It's a really cool little plant with great color, unusual shape, and it's been really easy to care for. If you're looking for something unique for a terrarium, this is the one!

Stunning

A beautiful but temperamental begonia. This eye-catching specimen will likely be the first plant in your terrarium to let you know when your humidity is low. Don't be discouraged by some leaf-drop as it can bounce back in good conditions. Worth the effort.

Cute weirdo!

Despite the warning "Not for the novice grower", this one is a happy and fast grower in my terrarium. I keep cutting it down and now have several pots of this polka dot thing. Add a lot of visual interest. I highly recommend this species.

Beautifully bizarre

If you like strange looking plants, this is one of the best. It grows like a cane begonia in miniature. Despite its reputation for being difficult, I found this one to be very undemanding. I keep mine potted inside a warden case (to give it the humidity it requires) under an LED shoplight. It propagates easily too!

Funky Begonia

These guys NEED a lot of humidity! Once you figure out kind of what they like, they grow super super fast! I want another one but i don’t need it! Any begonia lover need one of these in their collection

Perfect

Despite being a needy plant, it arrived intact and in great condition. Would buy again if I didn't already have one!

amazing!!!!

I love this little begonia, so much that I am getting another. Tip for the new grower: Don't mess around, get it in a terrarium asap. I took my time getting it into a terrarium because I was mesmerized by it's beauty. That did cause it to drop a few leaves, but it is still going strong.

Absolutely perfect

I'm always impressed with Violet Barn's shipping, but this amazed me. My plant arrived in *pristine* condition, healthy with several leaves. I placed it in a terrarium upon opening, and it's doing so well! It hasn't dropped a single leaf and there are 2 new ones beginning to unfurl. I'm so pleased, all I've heard is how these plants drop all their leaves after shipping and are so finicky, but mine is holding strong. Very reasonably priced too. Thank you Violet Barn!!

Cute, oh so cute!

This is the coolest miniature begonia, I have ever owned. Looks like a space alien, up close too. Put into a terrarium and it is growing slowly now. My neatest plant yet, from Violet Barn. And that is saying something as I have ordered around 45 plants from them so far.
