# Is it just me or are cane begonias kinda temperamental?? when it got…

_Posted by Sam\_I\_am08:) on 2025-03-22_

Is it just me or are cane begonias kinda temperamental?? when it got cold where I am my pink mink wasted no time in dying, and no matter how I tried to cater to her, she wasn’t having ANY of it. My don miller came back, but the pink mink is still throwing a fit. I’m so tired of her I might let her go and move on. 😭

Top picture is don miller today  
Bottom left is pink mink today  
Bottom right is the two of them when I first got those cuttings, don miller was sharing a cup with a syngonium bc I wanted it to get some of the root growth hormones.

My rex begonia is quite temperamental and drops his leaves very easily. They are such delicate plants.  
I’m going to try a self watering pot to keep the soil moist since my alocasia seems to enjoy it.

I like this idea, and I’m glad someone could relate 😭
