BEGONIA Tuti Siregar results from crossbreeding between two species, Begonia listada and Begonia acetosa.

An important factor for successful crossbreeding is to find two good parents. A cold and humid environment is also an important factor.

Ideally crossbreeding is done in a cool temperature at an altitude of 600 meters above sea level. Heat would cause the stamen to dry and die.

Normally, the flower primordium will wilt, enlarge and ripen
