I have a massive begonia maculata and I just bring it into my bathroom when I shower, then leave her in her overnight. That has worked well for me over the year/two years that I rescued the plant.

Begonia’s can grow on riverbanks, so they like humidity and wet, but drained soil. They like to be in small pots and love bright, indirect light or a grow light. I take my maculata outside as soon as temperatures go above 10 degrees Celsius, because it’s more humid and light outside.

It doesn't seem to like the light in my kitchen so i am considering putting it under a grow light.

Ive killed one because it came with fungus gnats and I couldnt get rid of them..I was also a beginner. And now this time the plant was beautiful...no gnats..little sun damage but was thriving overall..or so i thought. It was actually very water logged. It had no drainage and began dropping leaves after I watered it. I got it some drain holes and removed much of the soil and put it in a tropical mix with lava rock and perlite. Im hoping thatll help. Im still learning as i go

Really cute video! Still very much struggling with my maculata. All the leaves are crispy even the ones that are still waiting to unfurl already has brown tips. I am contemplating if I should cut all the leaves off and just start it over bald. Like you said, they will grow out new leaves. Right? I have tried everything I can with this plant. Sad.
@BasiePlants4 жыл бұрын
Oh, I am sorry to hear that! Well, the smaller one I have arrived in terrible condition and it was able to recover. I think brown tips could be result of inconsistent watering? I find that they really don't like to get bone dry, so that's why am I using a self-watering pot (or my DIY version of it). I wouldn't defoliate the plant, if anything you can cut it back and then the new shots will grow. I actually did this to one of my cane begonias because it was just getting too big. It takes some time for them to grow after that, but they do. Maybe you can first try to modify you care to see if it can grow new leaves without browning and then you can decide what to do from then. Otherwise, you might end up cutting your plant and without modified care, you will still get brown edges.

Nordic glacier, Black Mamba, African Jungle, Hildegard Schneider. I don't have the IDs for all of them :) I keep mine in self-watering pots, and I add water once a week (now even more because my reservoir is small). You can wait until the leaves start to get a bit droopy but don't wait for them to go all the way down. I would say that first half of the soil dry :)

I’ve had a begonia maculata for about a month now which I bought from someone on Facebook. It has been producing new leaves that are a decent sized but the backs never turn fully red. Any idea why?
@BasiePlants4 жыл бұрын
Are the older leaves red on the back? It might be too much nitrogen in the fertilizer. It might be the case that too much chlorophyl is being produced and the red is not visible. Or at least that's what I read :) You can read more about this in the 70th volume of The Begonian (March/April 2003) on the American Begonia Society website.
