I’m sorry I don’t have any good advice but I would love to know what kind of begonia that is!!

#### Anya antwoordde op 2024-06-18

It either looks like a begonia listada or a begonia listada hybrid :)

#### Holly antwoordde op 2024-06-18

So cool, thanks! Best of luck!

#### Anya antwoordde op 2024-06-18

One example of a begonia listada hybrid is begonia magadalen madsen

I’m not familiar with begonias but I heard “angel wing” begonias (the shape of the leaf) are pretty easy. They don’t need too much humidity and liked to be watered when half dry. Good luck! Beautiful plant!

Maybe using superthrive may work since your plant may be “getting a feel” of your place:
