Begonia sp. Sulapink

The Pink Forest Spark

What Is Begonia sp. ‘Sulapink’?

Begonia sp. ‘Sulapink’ is a rare, collector-named begonia known for its pink tones and decorative foliage. The term “sp.” means the exact species has not been formally identified, while “Sulapink” refers to its pink coloration, which makes it stand out from typical green begonias.

Like many tropical begonias, it grows naturally in warm, humid rainforest environments with filtered light. It is not an aquatic plant and should never be submerged. Instead, it thrives in moist, well-draining soil with stable humidity.

The leaves often show a mix of green and pink shades, sometimes with soft metallic or contrasting tones. The pink color may appear stronger under good lighting and proper care.

Colorful and eye-catching, Begonia sp. ‘Sulapink’ is ideal for collectors who enjoy bright foliage with a tropical feel.
