I just recently went on an extended vacation and left my plants in the care of my partner. I had just gotten my first ever begonia(Rex). It unfortunately didn’t make it until my return. I have many houseplant but I’ve just recently started to become interested in begonias and would like to replace my Rex and get more varieties. Any care advice? Google just gives the same answer for every kind of plant.

Ha! If you manage to figure it out please come back and let us know, because I have never managed to keep any one of these alive in the house regardless of variety LOL. I plant them seasonally in my garden now (they don’t survive our winters).

I was thinking about just growing them seasonally outdoors just to get my fix lmao. I’m in Kentucky so they aren’t nearly hardy enough to survive a winter here either.
