I struggled with this plant for years but I finally figured it out and she’s thriving now.


She was the first begonia I've ever had, I previously only had succulents or more rot-prone plants. I was so worried about over watering and struggled to find the right amount of light so she was pretty sad for a long time, but in the last couple months she has put out tons of new growth and none of the leaves are crispy.

I'm so happy and just wanted to share! ☺️ 💚

    What did you change? I have a few begonias that just won’t thrive

    I’d love to hear what worked. The leaves on mine always get crispy on the ends, even if I really stay on top of watering.

    Mine is just dropping leaves left and right

    I’m struggling too. I’m trying to save mine atm. I brought it from a local shop they have it too wet and it got mould. New leaves are all good but it just is the most temperamental plant! It’s like trying to keep a maidenhair fern alive

    I had a couple props that I was about to give up on. They dropped every leaf and sat there as sticks for weeks and then one day just suddenly started growing.

    Do you keep her in a humid setting? I have mine in my ikea fabrikor cabinet but im hoping to put it in my window in my living room.

    One of my favorite plants! Ours isn’t doing so hot these days

    I miss my begonias. I move climates and they no longer thrived

    A beautifully grown plant! I see these all the time at the store as little starters, so it’s cool to see it a more matured plant. Looks great.

    Mine is barely limping along 😭 maybe I need to repot

    Gorgeous. I’ve been eying them now that my greenhouse cabinet is almost done.

    Do they always require a support due to being top heavy or is that just on the babies?

    Will 5” clear pots fit in an 6” decorative pot? Thx.
