Just wanted to share a before and after photo of my 47 year old Polka Dog Begonia. First picture is the day I rescued this plant in February 2025 and the second photo is today.  
Pretty proud of how far this beauty has come ❤️

She’s beautiful! I have one just like this, but not as big. They grow so fast and are very forgiving ❤️ she must be happy in your care .
