The climate there is subtropical, with warm, humid summers and cooler, dry winters. There are two known varieties of \u003cem\u003eBegonina ningmingensis\u003c\/em\u003e : \u003cem\u003eBegonia ningmingensis\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003eningminensis\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eBegonia ningmingensis\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003ebella\u003c\/em\u003e offered here. They differ mainly in the size, shape, and pattern of their leaves. The \u003cem\u003eningmingensis\u003c\/em\u003e variety is more widespread and has larger, pointed leaves with less pronounced markings. The \u003cem\u003ebella\u003c\/em\u003e variety remains smaller, has completely round leaves, and a very contrasting white pattern along the main veins. It is known from only one location in the wild and appears to be considerably rarer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt grows with a creeping rhizome on limestone hillocks in deciduous forests, often directly on stony slopes or rocks. The leaves are about 6 to 8 cm long and 5 to 7 cm wide and (almost) circular, with dense hairs. The leaf surface is covered with many small bullae (\"bumps\"), each topped with a short, stiff hair. The leaves are most vibrant in low light. They have a dark green base color with a very striking white pattern along the main veins. The leaves are held flat against the ground, and the entire plant (excluding the inflorescence) only reaches a height of about 5 to 10 cm, with a diameter of 20 to 30 cm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Its inflorescence grows to about 5 to 15 cm high and bears white flowers that tend slightly towards pink.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It belongs to the \u003cem\u003eCoelocentrum\u003c\/em\u003e section.\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 5cm pot.
