I like begonias too. Love the one in this photo.

Episcias and begonias seem to like the same growing area. Begonias tend to take up more space so ended up with more episcias.

http://inlinethumb51.webshots.com/42802/2958325100105881756S500x500Q85.jpg
Don't know how tall can this cane begonia reach
http://inlinethumb64.webshots.com/47871/2259124170105881756S500x500Q85.jpg

Is it true that we can only water our begonias when the media are dry? Is it okie for me to water my begonias
everyday and moist the leaves also cos my area is very windy?

these 3 from AMK also!! i got the first two, but didnt get the third wan..

i water my begonias daily also, cos my area is very windy, a lot of begonias actually like to be kept slightly on the moist side instead of drying out totally...i will also mist them in the evening to keep the humidity high..

Normally I dare not buy this type of colorfull leaves Begonia, especially those in YG pot, cos the successfull rate for me in keeping them long is very low. Today come across this begonia being planted in a med size old pot(not YG), very bushy and lots of new leaves hidden, the nursery worker tell me that this pot have been with them for quite some time, being trim and repotted, so bot it home and try my luck again :closedeyes:/>

Usually I won't be getting any begonia that is being potted as YG(from Cameron Highland), did tried a few pots before but not successfully, perhaps due to the weather not suitable to grow those type of begonias in Singapore.

Come acroos these few begonias from a local nursery, tot of giving it a try again :closedeyes:/> Any advice on whether shall I give those a try???

Thanks in advance :notworthy:/>
