New member to the family. Just got this little cutie the other day. I don’t know much and couldn’t find much detail by the name. Any input will be helpful. Also. Would this work in a terrarium ? #begonia #angelwing #terrarium #Begonia

I finally got the courage to repot Ms. Queen Cleopatra over the weekend. I had the help of my husband- thank goodness! 😅 #StoryofCleopatra I was SO nervous to repot her because I didn’t want to disturb her beauty! But we did it - and so far - so good. She still loves me. #HappyPlants #LookingGlassCaneBegonia #Begonia #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #repotting #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #NewGrowth #PlantLove

Update on Polka Dot Begonia. A little chop and prop. She was really getting leggy so propagated into two plants and quite a few cuttings.

Gabrielle started out as 3 cuttings from my sister's huge mother plant. She traveled from Florida to Missouri on an airplane. She lost all but a few small leaves. She ended up in my kitchen in some water to grow more roots. Once she was ready, I planted her into soil. A few months later and now look at her! I do so love a good begonia leaf and these are STUNNING. Can't wait to watch this gal grow even more. #angelwingbegonia #begonia #begoniabunch #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #plantaddict #newgrowth #planttherapy #plantlove #theamigos #jesssjungle #propagation #propagationstation #greggang #plantmafia
