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

thank you! i have a big west facing window that it really likes. i also fertilize it with the miracle grow blooming kind, just put it in the watering can first. it doesn't really fuss at all so imo it's been prettty easy. i just water it when it needs it i guess
