# so this is the second begonia I’ve owned being I could not keep my…

_Posted by hobohaze on 2023-11-06_

so this is the second begonia I’ve owned being I could not keep my first alive whatsoever, I read last night that showering your begonia may help with growth in drier climates, I just want to keep my baby alive!!! Any pointers? To be fair, my last Rex died pretty much on the way home, I’ve had this one for a few days now and seems to be better???? I’d like to keep it that way!!!

All I want is a happy Rex 🥺 I heard misting is really bad which is why I did the humidity shower but we’ll see how it goes!!
