About Begonia bipinnatifida
There are over 2,000 species of Begonia, and horticulturalists have created even more varities by cultivating all sorts of shapes and colors! 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. They contain oxalic acid, so be sure to keep them out of reach in homes with pets or children! ⚠️

How to fertilize Begonia bipinnatifida

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Begonia bipinnatifida after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Is this really just a Rex Begonia? Haha! I’d love to get its actual name if anyone knows. I love the pink frost! #Begonia #identify #RexBegonia #PlantID #PlantParenthood

General color is horrible, crispy tips and patches, high indirect light. Cutting originally rooted in Spag, I took that and set it on top of some potting soil with a bottom layer of clay balls (not leca). No drainage. #maculata #Begonia

Who has used mayonnaise on their plants? Harmful or beneficial? Really want to shine this girl up with it but I'm unsure of what the pros and cons may be. #begonia #shinemyleaves

#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Begonia #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #PlantMail I found a great nursery on Etsy that sells Begonias!! Look what arrived today finally!! My Strawberry Twist Rex Begonia!!!🍓🤩I’m so excited. She’s a little damaged from the travel because the post office 🏤 didn’t deliver on Saturday as promised. I was worried knowing she had to sit in a dark box for two extra days☹️. She has a few browning/crunchy leaves but overall she still looks 😊. I can’t wait to see how she flourishes once I get her potted up and she recovers. @princesspitstop @LilRootedWitch @MariansOasis
