The leaves of Begonia listada appeal to several senses at once, because firstly they stand out with their striking light green central stripes and their mahogany-coloured underside, and secondly they have a very velvety texture. Easy to care for and of compact growth, it is suitable both for keeping in a terrarium and as an indoor plant. The adult plant can also develop many small pale pink flowers.
