Begonia pedatifida is a species of flowering plant in the family Begoniaceae. It is found growing from southern China into Vietnam. A rhizomatous perennial reaching 0.6 m (2 ft) with large basal leaves, it prefers moist, shady situations under broad-leaf forests at elevations from 300 to 1,700 m. It is available from commercial suppliers.
Begonia pedatifida is well resistant to disease and, overall, is not prone to illnesses. In terms of care, the plant is fairly low-maintenance. Planted outdoors it needs only minimal watering, and larger specimens usually do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be pruned after they have finished blooming. Begonia pedatifidat is suitable for anyone with an outdoor area, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand much prior care experience.

Pot & Repot
When repotting Begonia pedatifida, choose a pot that is 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) larger in diameter and has good drainage. Use a well-draining potting mix and consider adding perlite for additional drainage. Repot in spring or early summer, water thoroughly afterward, and keep the plant in a shady spot at first.
