Look at this stunning gal I snatched from a vendor fair last night! It says it’s an obsidian begonia. Any recs on care? I’m getting mixed directions here and online. I have her in a south facing window right now. Tyia!

That is what it looks like to me. It’s cane begonia, like a Maculata. Again, bright, indirect light. They like the soil moist but not wet. If you overwater, it may drop leaves. I had that happen with my maculata. I water it every seven days. So it might be the same with this one as well.

I keep 2 gallon jugs in rotation. I let one sit with lid off to let chlorine dissipate so it ready when my current gallon is done. Just add the 1/4 tsp of Jack’s powder and mix with a stick and you’re good to go.
