# Hey ya’ll! I got these two begonia rex’s today and I’ve never had one…

Hey ya’ll! I got these two begonia rex’s today and I’ve never had one before so if you have any tips that would be great! I’m not exactly new to plants, but advice is still greatly helpful! Also if anyone knows what type they are that would also be appreciated!

I’m following because I always kill them. I do well with Cane Begonias.

Mine became very upset at one point and all pretended to die but they are back and better than ever lol. They don't like direct light or water on their leaves otherwise pretty straightforward and really light hungry but they have their sensitivities but lately mine are just fine I had them by open windows at night I moved them to a different room suddenly they are so happy and healthy so it's a little tough too say when they will pretend to die again lol
