Why is it called papaya and begonia?

Papaya Begonia is a very characteristic plant, which has the characteristics of both papaya and begonia, so it is named "papaya begonia". First of all, in terms of appearance, papaya and begonia are similar to ordinary begonia flowers, with bright colors and beautiful shapes. However, in the middle of the flower, there is a fruit similar to papaya. This fruit is not only beautiful, but also rich in nutrients, which is widely used in dietotherapy, beauty, health care and other fields.

Papaya is not begonia. There is a variety of begonia called papaya begonia, which is named because its bud looks like papaya. The soil requirements of papaya and crabapple flowers are not high, but if you want to cultivate better, it is recommended to choose loose, fertile, well-drained acidic soil. The soil selected in this way has good air permeability and can fully meet the nutrients needed for the growth of papaya and begonia flowers, which is suitable for plant growth.

Begonia with different tree shapes are small shrubs only tens of centimeters high, while papaya crabapple is a large shrub that is more than one person's height, which is the most obvious difference. The fruit of Begonia is small when the fruit is different. The fruit shape of tapestry crabapple is peculiar, like a pear growing upside down, so it is also known as "iron foot pear". It is also known as "wrinkled papaya" because it is slightly wrinkled compared with papaya, the fruit of papaya.

Papaya bonsai refers to five species of papaya in Rosaceae (smooth-skinned papaya, wrinkled-skinned papaya, hairy-leaf papaya, Japanese papaya, Xizang), of which smooth-skinned papaya is also called papaya begonia; wrinkled papaya is also called pedicel begonia, which is one of the four famous ornamental begonia varieties.

Related to begonia is the Rosaceae tree papaya, the flower of this tree is called "papaya begonia" (see picture below), for viewing. The fruit is papaya, this is our Chinese origin, traditional papaya.
