Begonia x bunchii
Lettuce Leaf Begonia
Also known as Curly Beefsteak Begonia, this begonia has thick, succulent frilly-edged leaves that turn slightly brown when exposed to more sunlight (foliage is generally dark glossy green). Prefers high humidity and a loose, well drained planting media. Allow media to dry out slightly in between waterings as its rhizomes are prone to rot.
