Name: Begonia tripartita Souvann. & Lanors.
Etymology: The genus name Begonia honors Michel Bégon; tripartita means "three-parted" and refers to the characteristic leaf shape.
First description: The species was described in 2021.
Origin/Distribution: The species originates from Laos.
Location/Habitat: We cultivate Begonia tripartita in warm conditions at approximately 18–27 °C, with high humidity and bright to partial, indirect light. We keep the loose, well-drained substrate consistently slightly moist.
Description and notes: This small-growing begonia is particularly distinguished by its segmented, three-parted appearing foliage. Good air circulation combined with high humidity supports healthy growth; we avoid waterlogging and intense direct sun.
