# New Begonia lover here! I’m just so proud and shocked that my first…

_Posted by Sarah on 2025-05-26_

New Begonia lover here! I’m just so proud and shocked that my first ever begonia maculata has somehow thrived with me so far. She has given me three new leaves in this past month! Absolutely obsessed with canes begonias now, any recommendations on other cane begonias to add to my collection? Please share your favorites and any suggestions about begonia care! 🙏🏻💓

Very beautiful. I’ve had mine for a little over a year now and it was a tiny cutting. With proper light. It will get big fast.
