I’ve had my begonia for about a month now, and she is thriving! She has officially made me a begonia lover, and has earned a place as my favorite plant! Within the past week alone, she has produced 4 new leaves!!

I want a polka dot so badly! They were everywhere when I started getting plants and now I can’t find any!

I’ve been seeing them a lot at Walmart lately! Personally, I bought mine online on Palmstreet, but it arrived with most leaves damaged. Luckily, after cutting off the damaged leaves, it has bounced back super quick!!

I’m in MA but I haven’t been to Walmart recently. I’ve never heard of palmstreet, but I will be looking into it. Thank you!!

I just started collecting plants recently and idk what it is about Begonias, but I am just obsessed. Can’t get enough. I have a begonia Rex escargot and Ferox. I’ve been looking for one like the one you have. It’s so cool!
