Hello! First time begonia owner! I picked this one up today at an oddities market with the cute oogie boogie pot. Anyone know what kind of begonia it is? There was no labels on it. What can I do to help this little guy? It’s a little crispy. I’m in central Fla so I’m assuming definitely a little less sun than what’s usually recommended for them? Thanks in advance!

It looks like a Rex begonia of some kind

It’s a Begonia Steve’s Leaves Pearly’! I remember seeing it before. Check it out at Steve’s Leaves online 🪴😊

I think you’re absolutely correct!! Saw it on the website and definitely looks like that one 😌 thank you!! Any care tips? Should I take off those crispy leaves? It’s got tons of new tiny leaves hiding underneath!
