It's better than I thought!

 

Begonia amphioxus

It’s even better than I thought.

 

Begonia amphioxus is an interesting plant to look at.  With narrow leaves and bright reddish spots, it is worth having in your collection.  We just need a good common name.

 

            The one I have at the North window does fine with no additional humidity needed.

 

            But here is how it’s better.

 

I went on vacation, and it was not watered for 12 days.  When I got back, it was very dry but suffered no damage --- no brown leaves or leaf drop.  The slight wilt perked up with water.

 

            Begonia amphioxus is the perfect houseplant.  Everybody should have one.
