Begonia Dergei (Bonsai Begonia)

Begonia dregei is a remarkable plant that will add a touch of elegance and beauty to your indoor or outdoor space. This plant has an upright growth habit and forms a caudex at its base, which stores moisture and nutrients. The leaves are green on top and red beneath, with a maple-like shape and serrated edges. The flowers are white and have four tepals with a yellow center. They bloom from mid-summer to winter, attracting bees and other pollinators. Begonia dregei is easy to grow and care for, as long as you provide it with the right conditions. It prefers bright filtered light, but not direct sun, which can scorch its delicate leaves. It likes moist but well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. It does not need a lot of water, but you should check the soil regularly and water when the top few inches are dry. You can propagate it by seeds or cuttings, and enjoy its beauty for many years. Begonia dregei is a native of South Africa, where it grows in woodland, cliffs and banks. I
