Advice please, My begonia is starting to get dark and shriveled at the base stem. I haven’t watered it for awhile but it does have moist soil. It has been in my bathroom getting filtered indirect light. Could the light not be enough? or the moisture from the shower?
My begonias are happy and make me happy 🥰
Someone is very happy and does not realize it’s winter. 💚
I have been growing this begonia since 2019. Learned so much along the way about what it needs. Took many cuttings and filled out the pot and now it is over 3 feet tall. I finally got it to flower. So rewarding.
On July 28 2022 my friend brought me my first Begonia as a cutting. Fast forward to yesterday when I repotted from an 8” to a 10” pot and added some plant stakes. This is one of my favorite plants! 🤩
New leaf just grew in my polka dot begonia 🥹❤️ I’ve only had her for a few weeks, so happy that she’s thriving
I have inherited this beauty from my 98 year old aunt. How do I repot and or make it cut it back to propagate more plants?
Wish list plant added to my large bottle terrarium. Begonia amphioxus.
What potting mix do y’all like to use for begonias? I think she’s going to need a repot soon
Hi there! Looking for suggestions of Begonia species that would be easy to grow in ambient humidity (like 50%ish) Keep in mind this wouldn’t be like extremely dry, just not a terrarium set up!
My new Polka Dot Begonia! Very quickly one of my favorite plants. Any tips to keep it healthy?
My begonia is dropping lots of leaves post a huuuuge bloom! Is this normal?
I’m out of ideas, any suggestions are appreciated! Begonia Maculata and Begonia Benigo, both are doing the exact same thing despite being in different locations with different light sources. One I’ve had for a long time with no issues, one is newer but have had no issues. They are constantly dropping leaves. They’re both growing tons of new ones, but are dropping all of them. One repotted 6 months ago, one repotted 1 month ago (pot size is not the issue for either one). One is in a west facing window, one is under a grow light. I’m fertilizing every 3rd watering right now and water when its 50% dry. Zero pests, fungus, etc. I thought it could be a light issue, but then it shouldn’t be happening to the one under the grow light My only other condition I can’t control (or really even improve) is the humidity of my place. It gets very dry in the winter. Could low humidity cause this? Or are they just going dormant and this is what it looks like?
My Begonia just keeps growing taller and no flowers. I have cut it down several times. Any suggestions to get it to flower or what to do for it. Thank you
Got a new phone so tested it’s camera on my begonia 🤭
My little Pteridiformis is putting out a bunch of flowers!
so this is the second begonia I’ve owned being I could not keep my first alive whatsoever, I read last night that showering your begonia may help with growth in drier climates, I just want to keep my baby alive!!! Any pointers? To be fair, my last Rex died pretty much on the way home, I’ve had this one for a few days now and seems to be better???? I’d like to keep it that way!!!
Hi :) I have a Rex Begonia that is having some trouble. He frequently droops and gets very soft. Anyone know why this may be happening??
Hi all- my begonia maculata I very asymmetric. It has been growing a lot through the summer but just last week began to drop leaves. Is this normal for the fall? Is it normal to have such sidedness to these?
