This little begonia is growing (finally) and not dying, but her leaves are small. Will they get bigger or what do I need to do for them to grow bigger?

Aww so cute

### Nikki a commenté le 2026-04-05

They should get bigger and you can give them something to hold onto to climb up for more light like this

How much light? She currently sits on an east facing window

#### Nikki ha respondido el 2026-04-05

I have one in a tree frog tank with constant dripping water and a 12 hour direct day night cycle and the other is in direct sun for about 8 hours a day under a humidifier! That pic isnt mine lol i can show u mine tho

#### Nikki ha respondido el 2026-04-05

I would actually go South facing if you have a good direct spot

#### Marcela ha respondido el 2026-04-05

No. Unfortunately I only have south east facing

That’s her in the pink pot on bottom

### Marcela a commenté le 2026-04-05

I had put her on my windowsill but then her leaves started getting dry

#### Nikki ha respondido el 2026-04-05

this is my Rex Summer Storm. She is directly next to the humidifier at a West facing window

I would go more humid for the light necessity it needs if you can!

There’s a humidifier there! Lol

### Marcela a commenté le 2026-04-05

I have the hardest time keeping her alive

#### Nikki ha respondido el 2026-04-05

I would definitely move her in like DIRECT flow of the humidifier. Like miss girl should be moving from the mist

### Marcela a commenté le 2026-04-05

Ok!

#### Nikki ha respondido el 2026-04-05

Let me know!! I want to see her thrive :)

### Marcela a commenté le 2026-04-05

I will.
