It is highly variable and exhibits many different forms. It typically grows as a lithophyte directly on limestone rocks or in crevices and fissures within these rocks, which are filled with a small amount of soil and moss.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe climate in its distribution area is warm and, due to the annual monsoon, very wet. From June to September, daytime temperatures are almost always above 30°C and nighttime temperatures rarely drop below 23°C, accompanied by exceptionally heavy rainfall. The dry season, from November to February, is characterized by strong, cool, and dry northeasterly winds from the Siberian highlands. During this time, daytime temperatures are only around 24°C, and nighttime temperatures cool down to around 12°C. This begonia typically sheds all its leaves during this period and survives as a rhizome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The variety offered here is characterized by very dark, pointed, bullate leaves that can exhibit a strong blue iridescence. They are also very glossy, which unfortunately makes photography difficult!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt grows with almost vertical, pointed leaves on an upright rhizome. The undersides of the leaves are deep red with yellowish veins. Their almost vertical growth makes them particularly striking. The leaves are borne on short, very finely but densely hairy, sturdy stems that grow from a creeping rhizome. The overall growth habit remains very compact. The leaves reach a length of approximately 12 cm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eBegonia hatacoa\u003c\/em\u003e blooms with pretty, pink\/white striped flowers on stems about 20 cm high.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Within the begonias, it belongs to the section \u003cem\u003ePlatycentrum\u003c\/em\u003e .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [\/expand]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [\/porto_content_box]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You will receive a young plant in a 7cm square pot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jungle Leaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56319621202297,"sku":"Beg106","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8389\/6953\/files\/Begonia-hatacoa-Purple-05.jpg?v=1764927628","url":"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/en\/products\/begonia-hatacoa-purple","provider":"Jungle Leaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
