# I just got 2 new begonia hybrids today and they look very interesting…

_Posted by Nikiller on 2026-06-19_

I just got 2 new begonia hybrids today and they look very interesting but I discovered while repotting them that one section of rhizome broke from the main plant and only has a single root coming from it. It looked healthy on that section otherwise and it has a new leaves in the damaged one so it should be fine right? I also discovered two of my other hybrid begonias were developing root rot from the cruddy soil I bought them in so today I repotted all 4 begonias. This is them in my sink after freshly watering them in to their new plastic pots with extra drainage. I have some cloches that came with these pots to keep humidity in however I think those big begonias will not fit one bit. (Also say hey to that freshly replanted pair of alocasia that Ive had for a week) I’ve also just acquired an evaporative humidifier to keep the area around these more humid so that we don’t get crispy leaves.
