My Rex begonia is pushing new leaves like crazy, but I’m a little confused on why the new leaves are coming with way more silver on them? Is this good? Or do I need to adjust something with the lighting?

I would love to see pics of your gryphon begonias if you have them. This is my first begonia and I feel like it only took about 3 years for me to finally find the perfect place and lighting and watering schedule for it to thrive but I’m a bit self conscious about how the lower part of it is so empty/stemmy. Is that normal or just the result of me nearly killing it so many times? New baby plant shoots are sprouting and filling it in which helps the appearances a bit.

found this gorgeous girl at my local publix. i can't believe she was only $10, i had to get it!! the leaves are so dark and glossy, i'm obsessed. this is definitely not a normal maculata but i'm not sure what variety it is, looks like a black forest maybe? anyhow, this is my second ever begonia, and my last one.. did not go so well. hopefully this one being a cane begonia will make it easier 😅 taking all the tips and tricks!

Hey guys got my begonia a couple weeks ago at a farmers market and I was wondering if I need to buy support for it or continue to just let it grow like this?

I know I’m new to this to have such a drama queen of a plant… but I love polka dots so much. What does she need? Nevermind my empty “watermelon pot,” it’s for my peperomia that’s being hydrated 🍃

Any Begonia recommendations? I have my summer storm (below) and a maculata in my frog tank. I have been looking for a morning dew with no luck. Let me know your faves with pics!
