Begonia serratipetala
Pink Spot Cane Begonia
Morphology
About
Begonia serratipetala, described by Irmsch., is a caulescent cane begonia from the humid tropical forests of New Guinea, growing in warm, shaded understory conditions with high humidity on moist organic substrate where filtered light supports its refined habit. The slender upright canes with distinct nodes carry asymmetrical, elongated leaves of deep green densely marked with silvery spots, with serrate to finely toothed margins adding textural interest. Reddish, setose petioles and leaf undersides are characteristic. The plant's combination of the spotted foliage pattern with the clean cane habit and serrated margins gives it a more refined, graphic quality than many cane begonias, and it remains a popular choice for collectors who want something more interesting than the common maculata but more manageable than the rarer Bornean species.

Historical auction metrics and live online retailer listings updated weekly.
How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
