Hi everyone, I got this begonia a couple of days ago & aim wondering if i should repot it into a bigger pot? I watered it 4 days ago & the soil is completely dry already. What do you guys think ?

Does anyone know what begonia this is.. a super nice member of another group suggested it is a begonia ricinifolia immense. The leaf shape does concur with that but didn’t find it to be the same color with such variegation. Appreciate the help!

Look at this stunning gal I snatched from a vendor fair last night! It says it’s an obsidian begonia. Any recs on care? I’m getting mixed directions here and online. I have her in a south facing window right now. Tyia!

I just got a Looking Glass Begonia and I have not been able to find a lot of information about care tips! Do y’all have any tips for me? I have it by a northwest facing window with a lot of bright indirect sun. But no direct sun.

She likes to be watered every day😩... Or her leaves get dry I think it's time to repot I have a small pot inside this big pot but I'm thinking it's probably time? I was worried about it going into shock a few months ago but she's just growing SOOO fast, she went from a chopstick to a trellis in a couple weeks,, it's affecting the bottom leaves

Hey all! Newbie to Planta here! 👋🏼 Love my two Rex begonias. ❤️ I believe their varieties are “Salsa” and “Fedor,” but I’m still learning (aka scouring Google for pictures of plants that look like mine), so I may be entirely wrong. 😂

I received a very large Begonia Linda Dawn in the mail 3 weeks ago & have zero experience with begonias. She was repotted in a similarly sized 10 inch planter with drainage, watered weekly, and has a grow light. Unfortunately her leaves were browning and crispy, so over the last week I’ve started running a humidifier for at least three hours a day and it doesn’t seem to be helping the issue because she drops a leaf almost every day. There are new leaves growing but I’m afraid those will die off as well. Any suggestions on what I can do to stop the browning and leaves dropping? Most things I’ve read said it’s probably under-watering so, I’m adding a self watering system (Cowbell Plant) this week.

Hello everyone! I got this plant earlier this month, and I'm worried about it's foliage. I had it in a semi-shady spot in a south facing window--which, I realize, is not an ideal window position for a tropical plant--and the stem (which is hopefully visible in the first picture) appeared to stretch as if it were reaching for more light. I have since moved it to an East facing window, in bright light, but I seemed to have scorched the leaves. Am I misdiagnosing the issue here? Any thoughts or tips would be greatly appreciated!

What is happening with my Escargot? I started noticing these brown/shriveled spots a week or two ago and they seem to be spreading.

I’m so excited! My begonia Rex is popping out a ton of new leaves for the first time since I purchased it a month and a half ago 🥳😍 I guess the occasional neglect is working in her favor🤣

Hi! I’m new to keeping begonias, I bought my first one and I think I’m killing it 😭 can someone help me out so I can save her ?! Her leaves keeping dropping ! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

Can anyone confirm if this is a Silver Dollar Rex Begonia? She is quite shiny (it’s hard to capture in pictures) and has grown tremendously in two weeks. I’m also looking for name suggestions… I like names that poke at the species name. Tyia 😊

I’ve had my begonia for about a month now, and she is thriving! She has officially made me a begonia lover, and has earned a place as my favorite plant! Within the past week alone, she has produced 4 new leaves!!
Sarah
New Begonia lover here! I’m just so proud and shocked that my first ever begonia maculata has somehow thrived with me so far. She has given me three new leaves in this past month! Absolutely obsessed with canes begonias now, any recommendations on other cane begonias to add to my collection? Please share your favorites and any suggestions about begonia care! 🙏🏻💓

Got this beautiful begonia today, split it into two plants (the one behind it in the first picture is the second one). Any idea the species name?? I THINK it might be a Begonia fannie moser
