Begonia listada
$14.99
2..5" Nursery Pot
If you're looking for a unique houseplant with exotic, fleshy foliage, the Begonia listada is a great choice. Pronounced foliage emerges from the soil in clusters of arrowhead-shaped awesomeness. From afar, the foliage of the Begonia listada resembled a caladium or even a small elephant ear, but upon closer inspection, you can tell it's 100% begonia. The vibrant stripe of white down the middle of each leaf is reminiscent of a lightning bolt against a dark summer sky.
