BEGONIA CARE — Ep 038

So admittedly I was a little late to the Begonia game. You can say it wasn’t love at first sight, but that’s besides the point, because Begonias are beloved by many, and as I’ve been shown by Steve Rosenbaum of Steve’s Leaves and his Begonia Brigade, begonias can be quite enchanting creatures!

So this week’s episode of Plant One On Me is totally devoted to Begonia care. Thank you to all of those who go bonkers over begonias, because it’s your questions that have inspired this episode, which also happens to be one of those fun Field Trip editions.

I have 20 plus tipe of begonia still buy more and more😁😁😁 i love it so much

Gosh… to be able to work there 🔥🤯 I just got a buuunch of different pre grown plugs, got some crazy ones like the Fireworks, masoniara, silver lace, pachea and a new Lilac charm ( a new variety I think) among many others, Dibleys in the Uk do an outstanding range for anyone in the uk seeking out Begonias.
Got a mini indoor green house coming too so I can start growing my own little collection & start cultivation.

I just absolutely love my wax rose begonia! She is so very low maintenance and is absolutely thriving with hardly any care at all.

Looking forward to next week for propagating! I have angel wing cuttings in water and they have just started producing roots. Great timing.

Due to a later video w Don Miller, I bought a Benita with a rosy and turqoise bluish leaf. The Begonias were outside and I believe that it was too cold to store it outside. 8 degrees Centigrade. Some of the outer leaves dropped off at the base or appeared very limp when I got home. Trying propagation. They were packaged w stiff paper protection all around, so... couldn't see that problem zone. One side of the plant is OK. Strong stems and fair sized leaves. I like it a lot but don't have much luck with Rexes. Maybe it is too cold, already, in the truck from Holland. 🤔😐. I hope to save this pretty creation of Mr. Miller and Co.. .Got a video on intensive care for Begonias?
