How to fertilize Rex 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 Rex Begonia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What is the absolute best fertilizer for a Rex begonia? I have terrible luck with keeping houseplants alive and I really want to get it right this time! #Begonia

Ummm, I fertilized and watered last night and now 2 1/2 of the 4 leaves are soft and look like wet soft lettuce? In 24 hours my plant pooped out. What do I do?
