Apparently neglect is keeping this alive and thriving

Came home early, last November, and still a stunner. Never happened before, but I have learned a lot more since then. Still around for a #foliagefriday

Mine is still going strong @crabby58 and @hannahchristine but it’s in a greenhouse and they thrive better in humidity

I know there grown in massive greenhouses until the are sent out for sale. This is the first year I’ve had a green house and the first Time to keep one alive after January. It’s the first year I’ve had a greenhouse. I’ve only done a little research on them but not enough to know if humidity is the secret @crabby58 but it does appear to be true. I did kill my pink one though so I can’t say for sure. Sorry

It's ok 😃 @docthrill it's all a learning experience👍I've had mine for 4 years and she just starting loosing her leaves this year so thinking repotting might help with new soil new nutrients😃👍

Thank you, David. I have one that this Christmas will be 4 yrs old and probably 2 1/2 ft tall, but all stems and looking very sparse in leaves this past year, so thinking of cutting it back and repotting it 🤞🤞

I’ve never been able to keep them alive but then a year ago I didn’t have a green house. Still so beautiful and healthy.

Still going strong, in some ways I can’t believe I haven’t killed it yet. I’ve never kept one alive this long before. For about a year now, I’ve learned so much from you guys, the research has been the most I’ve learned a lot from #foliagefriday

Yup the humidity is a bit high in here but the begonias really need it. What’s a little sprinkle from the green house plastic anyway, #happyplants
