I have 2 begonias, a snow cap and a amphioxus. Has anyone successfully grown these outside of terrarium? My snow cap was fine but has started crispifying, my guess is humidity. My amphioxus was bought in a pretty sad state. I see some tiny new leaves but the current ones are crisping as well. I’ve seen so many conflicting things. I live in Seattle so pretty humid. My kitchen is currently 77° and humidity is 60% and I have pebble trays. Is it me?
I think I figured out the snow cap. I have it on a pebble tray with leca balls. Looks like it was enough to put the soil in contact with the soil. I think she’s just over watered. The other one I’ve put a gallon ziplock bag over it

If you figure out the amphioxus, let me know! I'm having the same sort of issue.
0 likesI’m pretty confident it needs a terrarium.

Somehow mine did fine over winter with growlights but recently they are all furious and crispy with the weather change lol. Seattle here too
0 likesOoooh I didn’t even think about that. Ya, we’re in false spring so things are kinda back and forth. I did see some new leaves! Idk if it’s done throwing a tantrum or the ziploc is working.

0 likesWell, I built a greenhouse so the snow cap is doing better. The amphioxus is still pretty bad. I finally removed it from the pot. I wouldn’t say the roots are rotted but def too wet. I repotted in an airoid mix and put it in the greenhouse as well.
0 likes Okay cool. Mine are not responding 😆 they are stable but not interested. Crazy! They were all doing so well. Something pissed them off not sure what. I have them in the back wall of big East facing window. They aren't getting worse but I see no big effort to push out leaves at the moment which is so unlike them
0 likesThat is one thing they have going for them they are still pushing leaves. I haven’t given up on them yet! I vote continue care as long as you can. I’ve read posts about half dead begonias that make a huge comeback, they were just throwing a fit
