Does anyone know why this begonia is crisping up so much? Water it every few days to keep soil relatively damp and gets what I would consider bright indirect light. It’s in a 3-4 inch pot.

What kind of water are you using? And they do like humidity ☺️

#### David님이 2025-06-24에 답변했습니다.

Thank you! I had thought it might be humidity but honestly have been stubborn 😂 Grow cabinet isn’t tall enough to fit it and oddly enough I’ve seen other people (like MariahGrows on Instagram) that have done well not in high humidity. Also I use filtered water adding in silica

Haha yeah I’m getting to the same point with mine that’s in a cabinet 😅 I did have good luck just using a pebble tray (with lava rocks) when I was babying mine back to health. But I know people have strong feelings about the pebble tray thing 😂

Humidity and filtered water for sure lol

I’m not sure, but is that a peacock plant right behind it? It looks gorgeous.

Close! It’s my Calathea Fasciata 😁 Thank you!

They can be temperamental plants, and yours looks so healthy!

#### David님이 2025-06-25에 답변했습니다.

Thank you 😊 Yeah! I think i’ve noticed that this one like a lot of other plants once it starts to grow well, it is strong/stable enough to not be as temperamental

### Yolanda님이 2025-06-24에 댓글을 남겼어요.

Needs higher humidity consider a humidifier or pebble tray

I’d also check the roots if you haven’t repotted it in a while
