{"product_id":"begonia-pink-urchin","title":"Begonia 'Pink Urchin'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eBegonia\u003c\/em\u003e ‘Pink Urchin’ is an exceptionally rare collector hybrid whose deeply textured foliage is covered in vivid pink trichomes resembling the spines of a sea urchin. Its compact scale, saturated color, and extraordinary surface detail make it one of the most distinctive terrarium Begonias currently in cultivation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGrow ‘Pink Urchin’ in a terrarium, enclosed cabinet, or similarly controlled environment with consistently high humidity, warm temperatures, and gentle air circulation. Ordinary open-room humidity, including that found in many coastal Bay Area homes, may not be sufficient for dependable long-term growth. Provide bright, gentle light while avoiding direct sun, which can damage the textured leaves and cause rapid moisture loss. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep the growing medium lightly and evenly moist, but never saturated. A fine, airy mixture containing sphagnum, perlite or pumice, and a small amount of organic potting material works well, provided the container drains freely. Avoid allowing the plant to dry completely, but do not permit condensation or irrigation water to remain on the densely haired foliage for prolonged periods. Stable conditions are more important than frequent intervention, as abrupt changes in humidity, temperature, or root moisture can cause leaf decline. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePropagation is generally accomplished through stem cuttings and remains comparatively slow, contributing to the hybrid’s scarcity in cultivation. Like other true Begonias, it contains soluble calcium oxalates and is toxic if ingested, with the highest concentration generally found in the underground portions. Keep it away from pets and children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Plant Lady SF","offers":[{"title":"3\"","offer_id":48320150667470,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/2280\/7246\/files\/Screenshot2026-08-31at4.31.26PM.png?v=1788219196","url":"https:\/\/theplantladysf.com\/products\/begonia-pink-urchin","provider":"The Plant Lady SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
