Species begonias are begonias that grow in the wild somewhere in the world. There are several hundred species of begonias in the world, many still waiting to be discovered. Many species of begonias have been in cultivation for a few hundred years however. They come in the full range of cultural requirements. Some are nearly indestructible and some may require terrarium care. Unlike hybrid begonias, which were developed specifically for our gardens and homes, species begonias evolved over eons to adapt to the specific climate where they live. Many can be a challenge to grow but nearly all species can be grown if you keep in mind their native habitat. Species begonias also have a plus in their favor in that they can be grown true from seed unlike the hybrids which must be propagated by cuttings.
