- Grown, packaged and shipped exclusively by Wekiva Foliage. Iron cross begonia leaves are easily recognizable. Each bright-green puckered leaf is marked with a reddish-brown iron-cross pattern in the center.
- The leaves of this New Guinea species sport thick, chocolate-brown markings which radiate to the leaf margins, resembling the German Iron Cross. This beautiful coloration is set against solid green with an overall coarse, pebbled texture. It’s not uncommon for this begonia to go dormant in winter.
- While it’s tempting to overwater a withered plant — stop watering during dormancy. What this handsome begonia really craves is high humidity.
- Iron Cross makes a wonderful houseplant and loves the hot, humid summers outdoors as well. When grown indoors as a houseplant, it should receive indirect light or as an outdoor plant with filtered conditions. Begonias grow best in well-drained soil when its allowed to dry out between waterings
- It is noted for its showy foliage. Puckered, pebbly-textured bright green leaves (to 8" long) have decorative dark chocolate brown center markings which resemble the Iron Cross displayed on shields during the Crusades. Cymes of greenish-white flowers (each to 3/4") are produced in spring and summer on stems rising above the leaves. This begonia is native to China or India.

Testimonials
Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
