Description:
Begonia dregei, also known as the maple leaf begonia, is a unique plant native to South Africa, recognized for its swollen base and sharp-tipped green leaves resembling maple leaves. It is a slow-growing houseplant that blooms white flowers from spring to fall and prefers bright, filtered sunlight. This plant thrives in well-drained, acidic, humus-rich soil and is not frost-hardy, making it suitable for hardiness zone 10. It can grow up to 19-39 inches in its natural habitat and is winter-dormant. Propagation is typically done through tip cuttings of new shoots.
