They're native to tropical regions around the world, but are now found in homes in cold climates as well. Their taxonomy is far more complex than other plants, with species belonging to different cultivar groups.

As you can see in the picture she’s drooping over. I bought her like this and I am wondering what yall think I should do. Thanks! #Begonia

What is this plant? So I’m in the middle of making a terrarium, and I got a begonia. The only problem is the plant that it says it is on the pot is very difficult to find really any information about. Greg says it’s a Polka Dot Begonia, while the pot says Begonia Aerial. There is also no Begonia Aerial in Greg’s system. To me personally, it doesn’t look a lot like a Polka Dot. Anyways, the only place I’ve seen have really any information about Aeriels is on Steve’s Leaves (no idea if this is reputable though). Currently very confused lol. #PlantID

I noticed my plants are flimsy and drooping instead of standing tall and firm. The soil was covered with moss when I got it but is getting moldy. I figured I over watered so I've given it time to dry out but it's still really flimsy. What should I do? #Begonia #help #rootrot?

Begonia Linda Dawn Help, this is my first begonia. I received a large Begonia Linda Dawn a few weeks ago & a number of leaves have dropped off. I assumed it was just from a bit of damage that it sustained in shipping. Now I’ve noticed that some of the leaves are beginning to brown and dry up on the edges. She’s under a grow light & watered only when the top inch or so of soil feels dry. What can I do to help her & prevent the browning/drying of leaves? #Begonia #Begoniahelp

Begonia crispy leaves…. I received five begonias from Steve’s leaves about 3 to 4 weeks ago. Some of the plans had very damaged leaves. I trim some of them back and none of them seem to be bouncing back. They’re in my IKEA greenhouse cabinet which has 60% to 70% humidity and a grow light at the top. I’m not sure if they’re getting too much humidity too much light. I’m not sure what the problem is. Any advice would be great. #Begonia #TheThread #brunchataudreys #BegoniaRex

Rhizomes begonia propagation Hello y’all! I’m looking for tips to propagate by leaf on this begonia. I’ve tested on a few of mines and despite using alcohol on my container and on my tools, I keep getting mold 😔 I need some tried and true methods. I watched so many videos but nothing has been working when it comes to prop boxes for me. (Even with regular philodendron/pothos) Help me, I wanna share this beauty with people I know and I would like to not use all its leaves to do so. I will take rhizome propagation tips too, I have another one that is in dire need of a cut as it is crawling out of the pot. TIA ❤️ #help #Propagation #Begonia #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PropBox #TipsandTricks

This is my highest performer by far. Less than a foot away from a west facing window and gets filtered direct sun for most of the day. About a foot away from a humidifier. I’ve had this for maybe 6 months and I’ve chopped it several times because it likes to spread out. Very rewarding plant. Cuttings root easily in water.
