My spotted begonia, Spot, gifted me with its  
first leaf after being rescued from a Lowe’s! New to the plant world, but man this is so rewarding ❤️

I saved my begonia from Lowe’s as well and pruned it! Now it’s so huge and full! They’re so forgiving

So beautiful! Every time I see them at the store they’re in really bad shape and I’m afraid to buy one. Do you find it difficult to care for?

I feel like its comparable to bringing a dog home from the pound. They need a little more TLC at the beginning, but it’s turned out to be my favorite! Seems to be very happy with someone giving them a chance 😊
