Begonia ferox is one of the most striking and rare begonias, prized for its bold, textured leaves. The broad, dark green foliage is covered with raised black bumps that resemble spines—but are soft to the touch. Its dramatic appearance and low-growing habit make it a captivating choice for plant collectors and terrarium enthusiasts.
