Just showing of my propagation station. Ran out of sphagnum, so, fluval stratum it is, haha!

Too many to name. If anyone is curious about IDs, feel free to ask!

Grown her for almost a decade and just clip, clone, and give away

I got this given in fluval stratum and I transitioned it to a small pot with dirt two weeks ago and now it looks like this and lost a leaf, is it just stress

Photo is the day I got it (about 2 weeks ago) and today

Just bought this top cutting it's very lightly rooted should I leave it in the damp moss or switch to a water prop

Super happy with the risk I took on this 'cheap' low varigated maculata. She came to me with one leaf, and the second one she out out...I was just happy it had any varigation at all, and then the third blew me away.

I never thought I'd be one to buy a one leaf plant, but here we are.

Got her as a tiny cutting from a friend, she’s one of my favorites!

About a week ago I re potted by begonia and stupidly watered it from the top of the soil. Its leaves are now less firm and perky.
Its new shoots are really struggling too. Most of them are gone.
Should I let her dry completely out? Or re pot?

I have included a pic of the soil I used. I potted her in 70% soil and 30% perlite

First time posting ever in Reddit. Sorry if I put it in the wrong spot. Does anyone know what kind of begonia this is?

She keeps growing! and taking over my room! She's about 10 feet tall now and nearly touching my 11ft ceiling. I also got a couple new stalks coming up this year. They're very thick. It seems like every new stalk is thicker than the last. Primed to be TALL! (:

Let me know what you think!

I can’t figure out what this is. Am I overwatering? Underwatering? Is this fungus or a bug? All of the leaves come out fine but eventually get this brown spot in the middle and sometimes crinkle on the edges before the leaf gets yellow/brown and falls off.

Just saw this little flower this morning, never know it can bloom

Recently got this 2” pot and realized there is another begonia variety that hitched a ride! Would you try to separate now or wait until both plants get a little bigger?

I also have a bigger strawberry begonia

I found her at a plant sale, and couldn’t leave her behind. She seems depressed but trying her best (like her new mama 😅) any advice to help? First time begonia owner here

Hi all,

First of all, I want you to know that I really appreciate your enthusiasm and passion. Like a lot of other plant and hobby subreddits, your experience and knowledge are greatly appreciated. Even if no one likes or reacts, know that there are a lot of lurkers like me who learn a lot from your efforts.

Now to the point. I have some experience with houseplants, mostly quite successful, sometimes disappointing. But overall, I love it and my thumb is getting greener.

Recently, I ordered some plants online. All but my tiny begonia rex ‘hugh mclauchlan’ arrived in very good condition. This one, however, had all of its leaves wilting and the soil was very wet.

I’ve had great success with my dieffenbachia, spathiphyllum and monstera adansonii in semi hydroponic setups, so I impulsively decided to put my begonia in semi hydro as well.

There are no leaves left, but the roots and the “core” of the plant look healthy to me. Will this plant recover, or have I made a mistake?

All help is welcome, and stay awesome. Thanks!
