Nombre científico
Begonia ferox (begonia feroz)

Nombre común
Planta de begonia feroz

Origen
Zonas ricas en piedra caliza de la región de Guangxi, suroeste de China

Descripción
Begonia Ferox (Ferox significa "feroz" en latín) es un impresionante miembro de la familia de las begoniáceas que seguramente llamará mucho la atención por su follaje táctil y puntiagudo; A pesar de las apariencias, en realidad es suave al tacto. Se desarrollará un nuevo crecimiento a partir de brotes verdes suaves hasta el follaje verde oscuro y puntiagudo por el que es conocida la planta. Originaria de la región de piedra caliza de China, Guangxi, esta planta fácil de cuidar es imprescindible, ¡especialmente si te encantan las begonias!

Luz

Prospera con luz brillante e indirecta, pero tolera algo de sombra. Mantenga la tierra húmeda, pero asegúrese de que drene bien y no la deje reposar en el agua.

Agua

Riegue cuando la pulgada superior del suelo esté seca y reduzca el riego en invierno.

Humedad
Le gusta la humedad superior a la media, pero asegúrese de que haya suficiente flujo de aire alrededor de la planta.

Suelo

Plante en un suelo de drenaje rápido pero que retenga la humedad. Lo ideal sería una mezcla con corteza o arena añadida. Vuelva a colocar la maceta una vez que la planta y las raíces estén abarrotadas de la maceta.

Alimento
Alimente 3-4 veces durante la temporada de crecimiento.

Temperatura

Le gustan las temperaturas más cálidas, superiores a los 20 °C; no las guarde en un lugar donde las temperaturas bajen de los 13 °C en invierno.

Apto para mascotas
No, esta planta es tóxica para las mascotas y los humanos pequeños.

Consejos principales para los brotes
Riegue directamente en el suelo: a estas Begonia no les gusta que se mojen las hojas.

Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.

Sometimes your delivery might look a little different, or come in a branded box from another company, but rest assured the items inside are carefully packed with love and attention inside. We use paper tape and all our branded materials included are fully recyclable. Sometimes we use polystyrene, bubble wrap or plastic wrap in the packaging, all these items are not new and where possible, please use them again.

Juggling It All – Business, Burnout & Looking Ahead
In this month’s Letter from the Founder, Jessy reflects on the challenges of running a small business and the reality of burnout after nearly five years of Sprouts of Bristol. With a packed schedule—writing five-year business plans, exploring a second premises, preparing for wedding season, and even planning for Christmas 2026—finding balance has been a challenge. Despite the exhaustion, there’s plenty to be excited about, from the arrival of fresh spring plants to upcoming projects like RHS Malvern. Jessy also highlights the growing demand for wedding plant hire and reminds readers that Mother’s Day (30th March) is just around the corner, with plenty of thoughtful gift options available in-store and online.

The History of Mother’s Day & Mothering Sunday: How Traditions Have Evolved
Mother’s Day, or Mothering Sunday, has a rich history that predates the modern-day traditions of gifting flowers and chocolates. Rooted in medieval Christian customs, the day originally centred around visiting the ‘Mother Church’ and later evolved into a celebration of motherhood. From baking Simnel cake to gathering wildflowers, many of the older traditions still influence how we celebrate today. But how did this day almost fade away, and what role did the American Mother’s Day movement play in reviving it? Discover the fascinating origins of Mothering Sunday and how different cultures around the world honour mothers in their own unique ways.
