Begonia burkillii

Begonia burkillii is a compact, rhizomatous Begonia species native to India, where it grows in humid jungle environments along steep cliff faces and near streams and rivers. Its natural habitat gives a good indication of what it prefers in cultivation: warmth, humidity and consistent moisture.

Patterned Foliage for Terrariums

This species is grown for its beautifully marked foliage, with light green leaves patterned by chocolate-brown blotches. Each leaf is slightly different, with natural variation in the size, shape and placement of the markings.

Compact Growth for Dense Planting

Begonia burkillii has a compact, mounding growth habit, making it a great choice for terrariums, enclosed displays or small humid growing spaces. Over time, it can help create a lush, layered look without needing a large amount of room.

Best Grown in High Humidity

This Begonia performs best in a warm, humid environment with bright indirect light. A terrarium or enclosed cabinet is ideal, especially in drier homes. Use a well-draining mix and keep it consistently lightly moist, without allowing the plant to sit waterlogged.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot.

We ship plants every Monday to non-quarantine states. Please place your order before 2 pm on Sunday to ensure your plant is sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time may not be shipped until the following week.

Orders to WA and TAS are shipped on selected dates only due to quarantine requirements. Orders for WA and TAS must be placed by 12 pm (midday) on the Friday before dispatch. Please see the list of WA and TAS shipping dates at the bottom of this page.

Shipping for plants to non-quarantine states is capped at $18.00 per order. Shipping for plants to WA and TAS is capped at $30.00 per order. We currently do not ship plants to NT.

Shipping costs include packing materials, labour, and certification where required. We use recycled packaging where possible to reduce waste and keep costs down, while ensuring all packing materials are sturdy enough to protect your plants during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We do not request signature on delivery, as parcels returned to the post office may not be collected for several days, which can place additional stress on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from Northern Wellbeing Centre, 113C Miller Street, Epping VIC. If you select this option at checkout, we will email you to arrange a pickup time.
