I tried to avoid the begonia train but here I am, finally gave in- they’re just so beautiful and interesting!

New to begonias (though not to houseplants) any suggestions I should know?

She’s a beauty!! I’m new in the plant game \& I have 3 Rex begonias \& 1 polka dot begonia. I’m realizing they might be one of my favorite plants!!

Mine love humidity. And if the leaves ever get wet, make sure you wipe them off with a paper towel. Also use distilled water every now and then to get rid of mineral buildup in the soil.
