Begonia paulensis is a distinctive foliage rhizomatous type. It has amazing large spiderweb leaves. It took me many years to succeed with growing this plant but it was more than worth it as it is the favorite of the 600+ types of begonias grown here. It can not not be given not too much light. It grows well in the greenhouse but needs an enclosed situation, like a bowl, in the house. New Item 2014.
