Help with a few leggy plants
Hey all! I have two #BlackMagicBegonia #Begonia and another type of a #RexBegonia - all are doing well with tons of healthy growth but they’re not stable on their own. The two black magic are super leggy and the rex has a weak stem with too many leaves. They’re in a humidity cabinet with grow lights. I’m guessing I just need to use a trellis, but is this normal for these guys? I’ve already chopped the black magic which is why I have two. And the rex is very full but very small. Ideas? #TheThread

@RealSimpleMama hello Sarah, I know my plant is different kind than yours but I do not have mine in a cabinet. And I have chopped and propped off my plant and it has become a bit bushier.
I have also used the clear rods to help my plant “stand” a bit nicer. A god send for lots of leggy plants I must say. And I also just happened to have an old crock to keep mine from tipping over. I had my plant inside my home but found it really loves my sunporch (8’ from direct lighting) the best for lighting.
Only thing I have found is it needs a 1/4 rotation every watering to keep it even.
I am sure you can get yours settled soon. 🙌🏻
