'Temuyuk', sp. 'Sulawesi Black' and similar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost of the best-known and most spectacular foliage begonias come from Southeast Asia, where they usually grow in so-called \"leaf litter traps\" on limestone soils. These are depressions and hollows in the forest floor or recesses in slopes, where organic components such as leaves, branches and moss collect, as well as clay and fine stones. Our Begonia Mix aims to imitate these conditions. It is finely structured, uniform and very dimensionally stable, making it ideal for the fine roots of these begonias. It also does not compact, giving it a long lifespan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have tested this new mix with our large and valuable mother plants for several months, and we are so convinced by the results that we are now adapting the recipe of the Begonia Mix in the shop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis substrate consists of:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCoconut fiber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCoconut chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePerlite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSphagnum moss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eClay powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eVolcanic rock dust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLimestone grit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mix is lightly fertilized with an organic fertilizer. The pH value is buffered against overly acidic soil conditions by the addition of limestone grit, which imitates the limestone substrate in its natural habitat.
