They are simply gorgeous! Would you think any less of me if I said 'Me want, me want' :lol:

Re: 2 interesting sarawak's begonias
 

These bagonia forms are beautiful Robert. I especially like the one with green leaves and red stem. The green leaves just brings out the red colour on the stems.

ken, some growing near your house? go take a pic and show, could be an interesting peninsular species, unless it was the common wax begonia.

Amelie, i propagate them from leaves to try out, still a young plant. You want, but must wait :biggrin:

David, the red stems were unusual and attractive, which compensate for the dull green.

I doubt it could be anything special but anyways if possible i will take a pic....I'll go check more about begonias first :D

Fuh...Nice begonias.I love them.Had many last time.Wondering how to take care of this begonias?Mr.Robert any tips?I killed most my begonias.Left 6 type of plants.They sensitive to the chemicals or neem mix which im using.The leaves will dry up.To many pests coming and eating the leaves.Can i use fertiliser for the plant?The once i bought come will moss + perlite.Using fertiliser roots the moss faster and this kills the tuber.

i keep them in cool corner of the garden, no direct sunlight, moist media, fine water misting on leaves and media. I never apply fertiliser but if you do apply very small amount away from the roots.

Hi Robert

Well i saw them as i pass by its quite out of reach and pictures will be extremely small even if i ever take it....Anyways i woukld describe it as wide heart shaped green leaves (fleshy looking) with the vains being a little pinkish if im not wrong (its just a 1 sec glimpse so i could be wrong).I don't even know if they're begonias lol cos they don't seem to form some sort of stem.And sorry tak ada gambar.

Beautiful Begonias you have there Robert! I tried to grow mine unsuccessfully as I think mine are cultivars that are sensitive to the heat here. I keep them away from direct sunlight, and watering is twice a day. The leaves just got smaller and smaller with every new growth. Please advise, thanks!!
