Hi everyone! I recently found out about these “escargot” begonias and i fear i may simply pass away if I dont get one. Do any of yall know where i could find one? I only really have big box stores near me so will likely have to order online. Any tips for reputable stores?

    On my wish list too. They are stunning. I have the best luck with local nurseries, but have never ordered Begonias online. Also interested in anyones experience with that and the condition of the plant.

    I’ve had one for a couple years. It was so large I had to divide into 5 plants. Kept one and gave others away. But I agree, have never seen in big box stores. Mine came from a local plant store. Pic before divide. Waters every other day. Kinda droopy here. Day of divide. I was concerned. And then a few weeks later. From last June and July.

      Current pic. I try to use Terracotta or cement planters for my begonias. They develop a red tinge in bright light.

    Every once in a blue moon, I’ll see an Escargot at a big box store, but Etsy is usually my go-to! ☺️ one of my faves for begonias is AngiesPlanties
