Hi there! Looking for suggestions of Begonia species that would be easy to grow in ambient humidity (like 50%ish) Keep in mind this wouldn’t be like extremely dry, just not a terrarium set up!

All of these and my polka dot begonia have been happy in my Southern California dry climate. I will occasionally put my humidifier on near them just for the really dry days. But they’ve all been blooming flowers and new leaves like crazy. So I assume begonias as a whole are pretty hearty plants!

Not to mention the last pic was all regrown back after my cat destroyed every last leaf on it. And I kept it by chance that it would grow back. And that little baby GREW BACK FAST.

I find that indirect light or even shadier areas of my home have been just fine for them as well.

So far, I just mist my begonias lightly every morning and evening and they've been loving that ☺️
