i got this begonia at the end of last summer, itâs tripled in size. i REALLY want it to bloom this year, im begging for tips growth and helping her bloom đđ©· iâve been consistent and learned a lot. i potted all pieces that ive cut off/grown with the mother plant in a pretty large pot. i take it outside sometimes as well but its super hot and dry around here.
My gma is the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time! I would never call her a literal goat. LOL) she randomly gifted me this red kiss begonia in this beautiful little pot!!â€ïž Donât forget to check up on your grandparents yall! Eat some food together and discuss what youâve learned abt plants. They might teach you something new and/or give u another plant.
Hi Begonia friends!! Was hoping all yâall could offer some advice for a newbie. My mum was just gifted a cutting of what we think is a polka dot, but the leaves are a lovely red so not 100% sure on Plantaâs identification. Anywho my mumâs more of an outdoor gardener feather than a houseplant keeper (and an Amazing gardener at that!) she was wondering if yâall had some tips for her to keep this beauty happy and healthy. She was also wondering if taking her new begonia outdoors in the summer would be ok for it. Iâm more of a zz/pothos kinda houseplant keeper so Iâm not sure what to advise. Sheâs in zone 3a or b in northern Ontario. So summers can get +25° to +30° in the summer with decent humidity depending on the year. Sheâs got a wide range of sun locations (shade/partly sunny/full sun) and sheâs not thinking of planting in the actual garden, just to take the pot outside. Sheâs going to repot it today in soil, so was also wondering if yall had any tips on how to avoid transplant shock. Thanks so much!!!
I have this previously full and gorgeous MÄori Haze that I found at a Target hiding in a self watering plant. Had it drying out in my north facing window and loved how gorgeous it was. Now Iâm watching it revert back to green and tan while watching it grow out all these baby plants AND while losing leaves. I moved it to underneath a cheap red and blue grow light and that area also happens to have an essential oil mister (no more esssential oils). What did I do wrong? Iâm not misting the leaves anymore but is the area just too moist? If I pull the plant out of the pot itâs all dark and wet up until that first inch of soil which is far more moisture than I saw when I first got it.
HelpâŠwhat is going on with these guys!!!!!! They r my favorite plants my top wish list plants and I canât figure it out!!! Also how do I do this part sun part shade thing in a house my smaller one is under a full spectrum light but under a shelf. And the bigger one I just canât figure out if itâs lighting or what I just re did its soil just now thinking maybe a total redo will helpâŠughhh
I feel like sheâs getting a little top heavy, is she still too small to snip a portion off of to help her stand up? She came from a cutting of someone elseâs plant. If I can cut a portion, where would be the best place?
Fuzzy wuzzy
First time getting flowers on this one
Sheâs doing so much better than when I got her 4 months ago and has such amazing color!!!
Is this the correct way to propagate a begonia? I made sure that each cutting had lots of veins. The pot is covered in Saran Wrap. I donât want it to fail. Thanks!
Hi! Ive had a cracklin rosie for a few months now & its thriving! However, its beginning to get a bit too big & was wondering if anyone had any ideas for maintaining? Is it worth propping & trying to make a bushier plant, or perhaps start other plants from it?
Iâm one very happy girl!! 2026 wishlist plants secured!!
My new polka dot red begonia $5.98! Love it
My polka dot is thriving. My Looking Glass is getting there, love the metallic look to the leaves My rare begonia that was just a tiny baby that didnât even have a name I donât think, it died. It was in a terrarium. I guess Iâm not good at those lol
Hereâs my big beefer! Sheâs 10 years old, from a cutting from someoneâs cutting from someoneâs grandmaâs old plant. Sheâs got a diameter of about 2.5 feet and I think Iâm just leaving her in her pot until she tells me sheâs done, at which point Iâll propagate again from scratch. Itâs kinda fun growing older with these girls đ€đŒ
Why does Betty hate me. I think she needs repotted in a tiny pot with some orchid bark thrown into her soil mixture.
I picked up my first begonia today, and I was wondering if this stem will produce new leaves or should I take it out? No leaves, still in nursery pot
đ Plant Newbie here - Is this going to be a Begonia flower? Never had a Begonia before, so do they flower? lol đ§
I think I killed my begonia. Never did a terrarium before.
Looking for an ID on this begonia. This is a propagation from the mother plant. This is not a Fedor. These leaves are about â4-5 right now. The mother plant has leaves that are â9 long. I call it a Giant begonia. It was bought from a Stauffers of Kissel Hill in Mechanicsburg, PA. At the time I bought it, it said Fireworks begonia, but it is not that either. I have both a Fireworks and a Fedor for comparison. I have never seen any other begonia get leaves that big. Any thoughts?
