Care Tips:
- Light: Provide bright, indirect light to keep the leaves vibrant and healthy. Avoid harsh direct sunlight.
- Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Begonias dislike soggy soil, so ensure good drainage.
- Humidity: Loves higher humidity—mist it regularly, or place it near a humidifier.
- Temperature: Keep it in a warm environment (65-75°F or 18-24°C). Protect it from drafts and sudden temperature drops.
- Feeding: Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.
