begoniifolia


Very dark, almost black, very glossy and pebbled leaves make this different.  Very flat, round, symmetrical grower.  Nearly white blooms.  Easy grower if not grown in excessive heat.

A Beautiful Shining Rosette Pet

This Petrocosmea, like so many of this species and accompanying hybrids are tough plants that prefer moderate light and cooler temperatures. This Pet forms a larger rosette that is shining, almost glistening as if wet. I accidentally broke off some the leaves on one side and within a month its symmetry is almost restored. I have become a true Petrocosmea fan and this is one you should have in your collection.

Glossy, Pebbled and Dark Green Beauty

I love the broad, dark green, glossy and pebbled foliage that forms a large rosette that is quite beautiful. It is hardy and is happier with some filtered light or morning or evening sun. I used to kill Pets over watering and over feeding, so I fertilize once a month and wait to water until it's quite dry. May have to give it a bigger pot. I love this one and it is highly recommended.

Easy to take care of and pretty

This is a pretty plant--love the way it glistens. Also easy to take care of, haven't killed it yet.
