This is my first begonia abs though I was hesitant, Iām thrilled at her progress. In a few months itās grown from a handful of leaves to this bushy little creature. I love the ālashesā on the leaf perimeter abs the variegation on the stems too. Itās good at telling me when to water, her leaves sigh a little abs she soon perks up with a watering.
