I have purchased a 'begonia fragrant falls peach'. I looked at the tortoise table and it says there are two types. I don't know which type it is. Can anyone identify it? Here is an image: 20220515_160816.jpg

I can't remember the names of the two types, something like tuberous? At any rate yours is not the one that grows from a tuber.

I'm not an expert here but think this is actually the turberous type, not the waxy type. Hard to tell from the little guy in this picture but the leaves on a larger specimen look right.

Don't let your tortoise eat the tuberous roots--the gnarly looking bits. I wouldn't keep a sulcata around it—they always seem like they'll eat anything to me, including roots—but I doubt that's what you got.

Behold! The future plant:
