I’m so excited! My begonia Rex is popping out a ton of new leaves for the first time since I purchased it a month and a half ago 🥳😍 I guess the occasional neglect is working in her favor🤣

Looks like a Begonia Fedor. Have you added any fertilizer to your water? I have been using Jack’s Classic 10-10-10 Fertilizer for my Fedor during this growing season and she is doing great. I use 1/4 tsp to a gallon of water.
