My Begonia amphioxus is flowering! This guy has never been one of my favorites, but he’s been showing off recently! He might be earning a spot on the favorites shelf.

My polka dot begonia. Is it a ‘Olie silver spot’?

Absolute stunner of a Begonia rex! Ive seen this called Black Velvet, Black Fancy or Black Mamba, but the leaves have a deep dark colour and the undersides are a very dark red! So cool

Quick question for all my begonia buddies is a quart of liquid fertilizer too much for an inside begonia is it just right

My first begonia! Begonia "Red Fred" from Steve's Leaves. Anything I need to know about caring for begonias? Also need name recommendations (besides Fred 😆).

My begonia has been dropping old leaves pretty frequently for the last couple of months and I’m starting to worry! The rest of the plant looks healthy and I’m careful about watering but lower leaves keep turning red or yellow and then dropping off. Any suggestions?

I’m having a hard time id’ing this begonia. Anybody have any guesses? It does have a slight blue sheen on some leaves so I’m unsure. The stems are dark maroon, the back sides of leaves as well, and when you cut them they stain your clippers with a blood ish color. Thanks so much for any help.

Hi guys. I’m new to the begonia family. I have two cane begonias, but this one seems to be a little finicky. It’s a KitKat begonia and I have had it for about a year. It has never been repotted, and I have noticed that everything is a little droopy, but there’s some new growth, some older leaves, of course have brown edges. I am unsure how to propagate it and or repot it. I need all the help I can get on this one. Sorry the photos aren’t great thank you for all who respond.

Can anyone identify which variety of Begonia this is? I don’t think the ones Planta showed when I scanned it were correct. A coworker gave me a rooting of it before she left so I don’t have a tag or any information on it. Thanks!

I got this maybe 2-3 weeks ago? I haven’t repotted it yet i know I really need to because you see the droopiness…. It’s drying out so fast . What I’m posting about is if any of you know what type it is ? Also have any of you used pon as a substrate I’m familiar with using it for Alocasia & I’m currently trying it on Syngonium I’ve heard they respond well too. I was wanting to try it for my begonias but wanted to ask experiences first I have lost a few plants In The beginning with my Alocasia I’ve figured it out at least for mine .

Hi! I’m thinking about propagating my polka dot begonia by cutting it in these two places and putting the stem cuttings into soil. I’d also thought about cutting the stems one node up, removing the bottoms leaves and propagating the stems in soil as well as the chopped leaves. Thoughts ?? I’ve never propagated begonias before 🤷🏼‍♀️
