Begonia paulensis is a compact shrub-like species from Brazil. The oval leaves are a light green and have a puckered texture. The leaf petioles are densely covered with white hairs. The pattern of the recessed veins resembles a spiderweb and gives this species one of its common names, âThe Spiderweb Begoniaâ. This species grows fast in mild temperatures but slows down in extremes of high heat. B. paulensis likes a little extra humidity.
Fertilize your begonias with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the active growing season in summer.
Begonias should be grown in well-drained soil, and itâs best to allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
