Please help me 😭
Does anyone know what this is?
Picture 4 and 5 are from earlier (7 days earlier) - I cut off those leaves but it looks like it’s on my stem and a few more leaves now (first 3 pictures). Anyone know what this is?? And how do I treat it?
I’m a Hoya fan, and was just gifted my first begonia by a neighbor. She’s so pretty! What kind of begonia do I have?
I got this Begonia Darthvaderiana ‘Green Spots’ a week ago. Right now I have her acclimating in a terrarium enclosure around 90% humidity. She will eventually be transplanted into the same terrarium but it will be a complete terrarium.
Is it okay to chop the biggest leaf off for the sake of space?? Or will that piss her off.
Just rescued this begonia rex from a supermarket where it will have been getting no natural light. In terms of watering I imagine it's probably had a mixture of being allowed to dry out and then overwatered. Current soil seems to be a standard houseplant soil.
All I've done is remove the very dead leaves, and checked it doesn't have roots coming out of the bottom of its nursery pot. It has black, crispy edges to it's leaves, including the newer leaves. I can see one baby leaf emerging. Some stems are soft.
Really interested to hear what people think is wrong here, and how they'd rehab it.
my son was gifted this angel wing leaf today from a teacher. unfortunately, it’s just the single leaf and no node. we’d like to try to propagate it. does anyone have experience with this? I’m nervous to score the leaf and lay it on soil, but my understanding is it will never actually be a plant on its own and will eventually die even with roots.
My maculata, lucerna, and the one in the last photo (have no idea what the name of this one is!) are growing like CRAZY. They are huge, the lucerna and un-named begonia have reached over 2ft tall. I give them all a balanced 20-20-20 diluted fertilizer every watering, and will water once a month with no fertilizer to flush the soil. Although they are growing a lot, I don’t think they’re getting enough light, due to their foliage colour/and the fact that not a single one has produced me any blooms as of yet :( I’ve had them for around a year and a half.
Any suggestions for grow lights that are strong enough to promote blooms? Unfortunately, I live in a small apartment with very minimal natural lighting, so I don’t really have any other option but to continue to use grow lights.
Saw this cutie at Lowe’s today on my errand run and had to add her to the collection! Having a hard time identifying her though. At first I thought Inca Flame but I feel like the leaves are far too light. I’m absolutely not an expert so I could be wrong on that too!
Any help is appreciated :)
My amphioxus that I purchased in May has quickly outgrown its 2 gallon jar. With the lid off it is taller than it/it is pressing up against the glass in general.
I have had trouble finding anything larger than what it’s currently in, especially anything with a wide enough opening to fit it inside or to go over the plant. I have considered buying a small fish tank to create a terrarium.
By mistake, this was my first begonia ever to purchase of the current bunch I own but by far my most successful. I have babied it like no other, going as far as wearing gloves when in contact as to not transfer oils. I am nervous to do something new with it for fear of losing my progress, but I need to do something with it. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions or thoughts on what they would do next?
Thanks for anything in advance!
Hi all! I was gifted this begonia a couple months back and now it’s an absolute beast!! It’s in a 10 in pot and it’s about 30 inches tall. Do I chop and prop? It’s been flowering nonstop as well. The amount of flowers I’ve vaccumed since getting it lmaoo. Some of the leaves are crispy due to me leaving it outside when I first got it and the sun scorched it. Thanks in advance!! (Sorry for the mess in the backgrounds I am actively cleaning rn, moved the plant around to clean and get some pictures)
Purchased as a tissue culture labeled ‘Ferox’.
While beautiful, this plant is not what I thought a ferox is supposed to look like. Can anyone weigh in?
My awkwardly shaped guy finally needs assistance. I’ve repotted this thing so many times but there doesn’t seem to be a pot that makes sense for both sides of it. Can I propagate the right side by cutting it close to the soil? It’s not getting enough support how it is now but is still growing well! Third pic is how it used to look. Thanks in advance!!
Years ago someone gave me a cutting of what I believe is a begonia and it’s been doing really well. I recently up-sized its pot and it seems to be happy. I have it at work and when I came in on Monday, it had fallen over from its own weight. Do I need to give it a stake or something? Or do I just let gravity happen?
EDIT: the pot didn’t fall over, the plant just grew too far out to the side and flopped over. IDK how to explain it better. I guess I’m asking about staking it to grown more vertically. I clearly don’t know what I’m doing! LOL!
I am in SWFL and keep my houseplants under a lanai getting bright indirect light and high humidity*
I am really wanting to cut it back as far as possible and try to start new with the plant. Going to put it in a wide and shallow terracotta pot
would that be too much straight away?
how far do I cut it back?
does the plant look sick in any way?
Does anyone see a problem? Thanks for any input honestly!
I water weekly/or as needed for certain plants
I gave this fully rooted cutting to a coworker and he had it less than a week. It looks like he repotted it which I had already put into a new pot before giving him. Is it shock from being repotted too many times?
I was making leaf cuttings, and before I knew it, time had flown by.
My Appleblossom begonia started to get brown leaves, and I thought it was because of too much sun. Watering and everything else has been fine, so I think it’s just that. Otherwise, I’m worried it’s an underlying/more severe problem… any thoughts?
My newest clearance rack rescue <3
and her progress from June 8 to yesterday, with just water and a small grow light. I wish the camera could how much she sparkles. She's so happy c:
It took me about 2 years to figure this one out, but both mother and child are looking quite happy now.
