Truly a beautiful specimen of foliage. I almost picked one up but I can no longer keep them alive, year after year. No more greenhouse #begonia-rex-fireworks #texture #leafpaterns #shiny #multi-colors

I’ve seen yours, it’s beautiful @angiie I use to have almost 30 species of exotic begonias. Propagated 50 or more babies. Love them, of course I had several of these. My favorite begonia

Well I’ve been catfish again, it’s Not a Mikato but a Rex Fireworks. That’s ok because it’s my favorite begonia. If there’s anything I’ve learned about exotic begonias is dot try to ID some species in the winter. New winter leaves are nothing like there identifiable in the warmer months of the year.

Beautiful foliage. I have a peperomia that reminds me of a begonia. It is called burgundy ripple. Not as lovely as your begonias though ❤️💗💞

I have never grown Begonias, what are their sun needs?

4w
comment
docthrill

Indirect sunlight or green house filtered sun from the plastic, gets really hot here in the summers @pooh4jvn I wasn’t abele to keep some of them alive without a green house environment. You have to keep that humidity above 50 percent

comment
pooh4jvn

Well 50% humidity leaves them out for me to grow, 30% is an average here with an occasional dip to single digit humidity. @docthrill
