OMG where do I get one!!?

I found mine as a little 2in. “assorted foliage” starter at a local nursery! Occasionally, I’ve seen them at big box stores like Home Depot or Lowe’s with other hanging indoor plants.

Thank you so much! It looks so beautiful!

Wow that is GORGEOUS!

#### Houseplant Heretic replied on 2023-06-26

It’s one of my favorites, for sure! 😊

I have one on the way that I ordered online. Super excited to watch it grow. I’m surprised you have yours in LECA though. I never imagined you could grow begonias in this. I love it.

It is absolutely loving the LECA life! I transferred it straight from dirt, and it hasn’t skipped a beat!

Another LECA lover!! All my plants end up in Leca.

YAAASSS! Over 50 plants so far in LECA, including cacti and ferns that people told me wouldn’t work, lol. Just recently started experimenting with Pon on a couple of calathea as well, since they like it wet, lol.
