# Good lord, I never knew begonia’s were sooooo temperamental! Granted…

_Posted by Alyssa on 2025-02-22_

Good lord, I never knew begonia’s were sooooo temperamental! Granted this is my first one and I got spoiled with amazing pothos’ but still lol. Like I was doing it a FAVOR by repotting it out of non breathable soggy soil into a better mix for its species and then it goes and yellows some leaves and gets all these crunchy spots. Even with its own PERSONAL humidifier right next to it, bathing it in rainforest mist. I mean if I treated myself like this plant, I’d be a thriving queen. Okay, lol, rant over. But like did anyone ever have this temperamental of begonias while they’re acclimating? Photo of what this princess looked like before it threw a fit, I’m hoping to have a comeback story for this one to share later lol.

I have 200+ plants. None are begonias!😄 Our lifestyles can’t blend.

Haha i don’t doubt it, even with you down there in Texas you’d think they’d love the extra humidity

My Indian summer hated me for about two months but is doing well now. I got a Yukon frost around the same time and it just died (left it in water…) but it never really thrived with me.

My cane begonia I got in December is still deciding whether or not it wants to live with me. 😂😅🥲

Ah bummer lol, ugh seems like with these you win some you lose some. Haha right? It’s like they sign their notice of vacate letter as soon as they enter the door 😂 more like “be-gone-ya?”
