Begonia ‘Buttercup’ is a cultivated hybrid derived from *Begonia microsperma* × *Begonia prismatocarpa*. It produces small, rounded leaves with a bright yellow-green to chartreuse color and a smooth surface. Stems are thin and branching, forming a dense, low-growing plant that spreads slowly along the substrate. Its compact size and preference for stable humidity make it suitable for terrariums, enclosed cabinets, or other controlled growing environments.
