Welcome to my NEW #AngelWingBegonia corner! ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿชฝ๐ŸŒฑ

Iโ€™m forever deciding where to put my cane #Begonia s and this is my latest vignette (ooo la la!)

Bottom is #begoniamaculata, then Rosea Picta, and Lois Burke on the top ๐Ÿ†

In the process of hanging them I discovered a sweet little bloom in the Lois Burke! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Iโ€™ve also done some repotting, some more rearranging, and moved a couple cuttings to perlite (๐Ÿคž @DreamMachine @princesspitstop ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป), so I guess now I should actually just WATER all the rest ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‚

What beauties!

I'm not at all familiar with Begonias.

I've always been curious about how to water hanging plants. Do you take them out of their hangers to water or is there a way that you water them in place?
If so, does the excess water drain into their saucers?

Lois Burke can be proud of his sweet, little flower...A loving gift to you!
Beautiful!! I just love begonias and yours are stunning!๐Ÿ˜
@CutePolypremum Hi Joanie! For my hanging plants, I just water them were they are and let the water go into the cache pot or the drip tray. After a few hours I walk around and tip the extra water into a plastic bin I use. Sometimes I use a (dedicated) turkey baster to suck out extra water too (when tipping them isnt enough) ๐Ÿ˜ Iโ€™m sure others have some brilliant strategies they useโ€ฆI hope they chime in!
@MariansOasis Thank you Marian! I always thought they were too delicate for me, but have been pleasantly surprised by how hardy they are! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป
Do you know how to do the plants? Can you tell me how? ๏ฟผ
@debbiedo @CutePolypremum I do the same thing! Except for some like my peacock fern I just take the whole hanger down and water it over the sink. Probably wonโ€™t last forever, my macrame I mean, but thatโ€™s a future me problem ๐Ÿคญ

Iโ€™ve gotten pretty good at watering appropriate amounts , and usually only a small amount goes into the saucers or cache pots, but the plant soaks it back up over the next couple hours.

Sometimes though, and this is the double whammy, I water too much and then forget the check the saucer ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿซ  RIP Rosie calathea (maybe, weโ€™ll see if she makes a comeback)
@debbiedo Looking very ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ
@debbiedo Love your begonia corner!! Your begonias are beautiful.
@DreamMachine Itโ€™s so good to know Iโ€™m not alone! ๐Ÿ™Œ Sometimes I do forget to check for extra water and sometimes I (incorrectly) convince myself that I donโ€™t need to ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
@RefinedSandwort Thank you Joy!!
