Took me a long time to get my Polka dot begonia to thrive and to fill out with cuttings from it. Almost trashed it a few times but I am glad I stuck it out and I learned a lot in the process.

How did you get that?

They require a lot more light than I first realized. Also the cuttings take forever to root.
