About Exotica Begonia
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 Exotica Begonia

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

Begonias outside for the summer? I’ve never put my houseplants outside because I don’t want to deal with the bugs, but I’m thinking of putting my Maculata and Lois Burke begonias out n a hanging basket this summer. I’m in zone 6B and they’d be on the north side of the house under and overhang. Thoughts?? Advice?? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Begonia #theamigos #brunchataudreys

Could I please ask for some expertise from you all to help me identify what plant this is! #begonia #greggang #help #helpneeded
