Description:
Begonia dichroa is a cane-like species from Brazil, notable for its large clusters of bright orange flowers and glossy green leaves. This plant has a low spreading growth habit and is a key contributor to the orange color in many cane hybrids. It thrives in shade to partial sun and can tolerate temperatures ranging from 50 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The leaves are large, dark olive with bronze undertones, shaped like a crescent moon. It blooms year-round when mature and grows to about 2 feet tall, making it suitable for hanging baskets. Originating from the Atlantic Forests of Rio de Janeiro State, this begonia is a member of the Begoniaceae family.
