About Begonia Melanobullata
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 Melanobullata

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 Melanobullata after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

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
