Watermelon Begonia - Pellionia Repens

A little iridescent wonder for your terrarium. Trailing Watermelon Begonia (Pellionia Repens) brings satiny, colour-shifting leaves in shades of green and purple to any setup — the kind of foliage that seems to change depending on how the light hits it.

This one likes moderate humidity and bright, indirect light, making it a solid fit for closed or semi-open terrariums. It's a fairly easygoing grower once settled in.

Its trailing stems make it perfect for cascading over the edge of a jar or creeping along the base as a groundcover, adding both movement and that gorgeous shimmering colour to a mixed setup.
