LOVE my begonia! So easy to care for and grows super quickly. I had to put a stake (a wooden skewer) in to hold it up because it became too big to stand up straight on its own within a few months of having it. Very pretty when it flowers.

She loves bright but not direct sunlight. They love humidity. So a bathroom would be an ideal place for her.

Not sure what to think about this plant yet. She was so sad at the grocery store, I brought her home to see what we could do. I can’t tell if she’s too dry or too over watered. Saggy, dry leaves, it’s a bummer. We will figure it out. She’s gorgeous though, definitely worth the effort either way.

Love the pink and green foliage. Little leaves start green & white, turn pink with age.

She likes the sun, like all plants. She gets sooooo big and beautiful if you let her!

I don’t know what’s it wants. It grows happily, but doesn’t have a single leaf that’s not crispy at the edge or scarred or otherwise unsightly.

Grows pretty fast, and it’s spots are iridescent 💖 I haven’t had any problems with it and it seems to be pretty easy going. I love this plant

My begonia is doing ok on my north facing window, but I think it’ll really thrive in brighter light conditions >:) I love the foliage and the way new leaves look as they grow!! Overall a truly delightful plant.

Such an easy grower and not fussy. Of course happier bego = bigger leaves but it can tolerate lower light. Will do much better in bright light and high humidity.

I just got this yesterday so I may update my review later. I grabbed it for $2.50 at walmart and it had several dead droopy leaves. I cleaned it up and disinfected, so we’ll see how it goes! So far I just love it, it’s so pretty!

Steady plant and very low maintenance. Just pot it in a terracotta pot and don’t overwater and off you go.

Got a little beat up in the mail but in the 2 months this bego has been in my care it has put out 5 perfect new leaves. Humidity is 40-60% most days and is right next to the plant.

Likes humidity but don’t let the leaves get wet or they will go crispy

Can be tricky for beginners, it can crisp up and get brown edges if not misted or have a humidifier nearby constantly

He has lasted the longest out of all of my plants, he was very easy to grow and he starts growing new leaves every week or so. My rabbit did try to eat him but quickly learned as they have tiny spikes inside of them. So not very pet friendly.. he was very easy to separate from the main plant and has been doing great on his own.
