A single feature usually makes a plant exceptional but Begonia soli-mutata has several that make it special. This species is mainly grown for its foliage. The uneven upper surface of its heart-shaped leaves make it looks as if the plant has goose bumps. Soli-mutata means “sun change”; its leaves change colour depending on the light intensity. The more light the plant receives, the more its dark green leaves with lime green veins turn red. Begonia soli-mutata is a colourful addition to a terrarium or any room in the home when grown as a houseplant.
It must be watered regularly but the potting mixture must be allowed to dry out before watering again. Humidity is not vitally important for this species of begonia as long as it is between 60 and 80%.
Begonia soli-mutata can withstand temperature as low as 5⁰C, but prefers a temperature between 20 and 25⁰C.
