Is this a Silver Dollar Rex? Picked this up at Lowe’s on clearance and it was just labeled as Rex Begonia.

Got this Rex Begonia Fireworks on my Birthday 11/29 from our local greenhouse here in Central Pa. Believe it or not it was only $14.99. It is in a 6” plastic pot. I added the apple for perspective. The Apple is 2” across. The leaves are monsters. There are even new leaves coming below. I have had some leaves turn brown on me from over watering. I’ll have to watch that.

I took two leaf cuttings a few months ago from a rex begonia of some kind and the new plants are getting off to a wonderful start! Kept in water for approx. three weeks then transitioned to my soil mix!

Is pruning begonias a thing? This is the first time I’ve owned one and mine is looking pretty leggy! The pot fits on the windowsill but I’m nervous that the branches “radius” will make it harder to fit as it grows. Any advice about taming the growth would be much appreciated. Thanks!

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.

How can I fix my Rex begonia? I’ve seen it droopy before but never this much Also it lives inside, I brought it out to get better lighting
