Solanum Ecuador Evolvulifolium, available as cuttings
Solanum Evolvulifolium is a gorgeous dark, velvety green contrasted with a light yellow-green veination. When established will grow quickly and can be used as a trailing and climbing plant. Similar in appearance to Marcgravia species and easy to care for.
As with most Begonias, the Begonia Lita can be picky when it comes to their conditions, especially when their new home is substantially different to what they are used to. However, when settled, they grow very well; the effort is more than worth it!
My begonias are grown in a high-humidity environment and this should be a focus. They generally take very well to terrariums and flourish when they are comfortable.
This plant needs a moist but well-draining soil mix that will retain moisture but allow the excess to drain away.
