"My slow-growing Begonia Jiew-hoe, a pretty polka-dot species that is...Read More native to limestone crags. As it continues to mature, the slowly creeping rhizome becomes more vertical. It is best grown in a terrarium."

"Stoked to see new leaves on this Begonia jiewhoei, which has pretty asymmetric leaves (one side is larger than the other) with white oval spots on its green surface. This new species is named after Singaporean plant collector John Tan Jiew-Hoe, sponsor of the book ‘Begonias in Peninsular Malaysia’. This species grows on vertical limestone cliffs and belongs to the Boernean element of the peninsular’s flora. It is rare as it is only found in two localities in the Gua Musang area."
