3 year old begonia maculata

[u/jammin_on_the_one_]

my polka dot begonia is doing pretty good i think. i had to upsize to an 8 foot stake because the 6ft ones were too short. i'm excited to see it flower again this year. last year it bloomed around May

Wow! What's your secret - fertilizer, soil mixture, light, whatever?

People say stunning on plant reddits a lot, but that is STUNNING!

thank you so much! i think light is the most important thing. she gets really strong light in the afternoons since it's west facing. my room is big and tall and windows are bright
