They love humidity and being hydrated! I personally have placed mine in my bathroom under a grow light (my bathroom has no windows for light). She was in my bedroom but she started to crisp up due to lack of humidity.

I’ve also been told they like water that isn’t chlorinated/have extra minerals (like tap water) so I water her with filtered water from my Brita lol

How about distilled water? 💦

No distilled will leach out any minerals in the soil

I just got one too🤗 begonias like 50-70% humidity but polkas usually do okay with avg. Add a pebble tray if you dont have it in an enclosure or close to a humidifier. They like to be warm with bright indirect light to keep them vibrant
