Begonias Are Liking the Shade

@CarolDM Good thought, but I would worry about the petals falling on my furniture. I’m not a doily user.

@DianneN I use my baker's rack for plants.

They are nice to have inside.

You should and they can be grown inside as well.

@CarolDM Wonder if I got a cutting now and grew it inside if it would flower by Christmas

@JimBo452020 I would think so, worth giving it a try... Water and humidity: Probably the quickest way to kill a begonia is too much water. Let them dry out slightly between waterings. If they are kept cool, you may notice they can tolerate a longer time without water. Give them a boost of humidity by setting the pots in a pebble tray (a low tray or saucer filled with pebbles and water, with the pot sitting on top of the pebbles and not directly in the water). Location: East-, west-, or south-facing windows are best. If any burning occurs when grown in a south-facing window, move the plant farther from the window. As an alternative, they grow well under grow lights. Place where dry air from heater vents won’t blow directly on them. Potting: Potted begonias prefer to be slightly root-bound rather than given too much room. Only repot when necessary.

Thanks and I enjoy the garden, flowers and trees.

@Lindcurtins Thank you very much!

Yeah I was just about to say that. Indeed it's a treasure

Thanks and they don’t have to be started inside. But they are a common houseplant.

@DocAndersen SOUnds like a good plan. You can get different colors. I have seen many do the pink, red and white together and it is gorgeous.

@CarolDM i've thought about putting them along the back fence area. i may!

Thank you! They are a favorite among many.

@asianlady I have flowers all around the house, front, back and sides.

@CarolDM Do you have a big garden? It's very nice to look at this flowers.

@S4mmyboy

Thanks, I do have a variety.

@CarolDM lovely.... keep refreshing us with the pics

Thank you.

Thank you! I love red flowers.

@CarolDM Thanks, I do feel some better today. Had blood work yesterday, waiting for results.

@1creekgirl Hoping for good results.

Yes they do for sure. Hope you are feeling better.

Thank you.

@CarolDM You are welcome.

Thanks!

Oh my goodness. I have learned the hard way with other plants too. Sorry.

I can see why. They are pretty.

Thanks and good to see you.

@CarolDM Glad to be back, still have some issues here, but the positive more than outweighs the negative, I missed being here. Good to see you're still here.

Thank you. I am too.

Thanks!

Thanks! They are doing well.

How cool. Thanks!

Thank you very much!

Thank you.
