Natural habitats of many Begonias are us...Hi Isla,<br /><br />Natural habitats of many Begonias are usually very humid but the plant itself grow on thin humus or vetical slopes where the water wlll drip from the leaves instead of staying there. In cultivation, over-watering, instead of raising local humidity (eg misting the ground), is a common cause of failure. If the air is too dry, leaves will become small or turn brown.<br /><br />The growing condition is not easy to replicate at home balcony so many of these species are strictly terrariums.Hort Loghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732036923234582077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377621798903033780.post-73292478299361618732009-11-27T17:16:47.045+08:002009-11-27T17:16:47.045+08:00I had this one before it succumbed to rot.
