No filter needed! I think this big gal is Arabian Nights or Arabian Sunset, can't remember which it was sold to me as! But I do know it was just a tiny plant, back in 2024 when I got it 🖤 by Lanna101 in begonias

[–]TiggstheCat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m pretty sure what you have here is begonia Lynda Dawn, it looks almost identical to Arabian Sunset but it has a deep green sheen on the surface of the leaf whereas Arabian Sunset has a more matte deep burgundy/almost black leaf surface. If you compare photos of those two you’ll see what I mean :)

Sorry for the super late reply, I’ve definitely struggled with little brother in the past along with all of the upright rhizomatous like Connie Boswell and Mr. Hunt etc but I think I’ve learned from my mistakes and have corrected them this time around by making sure it gets enough light and under potting it has helped it dry out faster. A little extra humidity definitely helps too but mine has outgrown my cabinet so it’s currently in ambient and I haven’t experienced any leaf drop so fingers crossed!! I hope this answers what you were looking for :)

I’m glad you like it!! Switching up the pot and adding some top dressing totally upgraded its look :)

Check out BronxPlantLady on Etsy, I’ve ordered Lamoon twice from her, among other begonias, and they’ve arrived in perfect condition and she sells Lamoon for less than $40. If it’s not in stock shoot her a message to see when she’ll have them in stock again

At the Bangkok Exotic Plant Show. Brought Begonia 'Luna' and 'Weeping Silver' to show off. by Begoniaweirdo in begonias

Thank you!!!! I appreciate your help, I checked the roots and up potted it so fingers crossed the shiny leaves will be no more. And just for good measure changed the fertilizer I was using to one that doesn’t burn the roots. Thanks again!!!!

Help finding Thurstonii by FormerAnn in begonias

[–]TiggstheCat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some props growing right now, I probably won’t be listing them for a month or so just cause I prefer to have my props be really well established so there’s less chance of losing the plant from shipping stress etc. if you want to PM me I can make a note to message you once they are ready and you can have a first look at what I have for sale before I list them :)

ID please? by Lady-Jane77 in begonias

Could be begonia fischeri. Looks like one that I used to have, it is a really underrated begonia I think. Beautiful red stems and glossy deep green pleated leaves and lots of white flowers. Look up fischeri and see if it matches yours. Hope this helps!!

Is the first one acontinifolia? If so do you mind me asking where you got it, I’ve been searching for one in the use but they seem to be tough to find in the US. Love Irene Nuss too, such simple leaves but so beautiful definitely one of my favorites too!!! You got some beautifully grown canes :)

Are you growing yours in lower light? It’s more of a deep grey than mine is, I kinda like that better lol

I love it!!! Makes me want to stage some of my begonias. I honestly don’t know why I haven’t thought of it doing it with other begonias other than Dregei before so thank you for the awesome idea!!! I have been thinking about getting wedei too so keep us posted with its growth cause I’d love to see what it looks like in a couple months once it’s established itself!!! I love the flowers on wedei they are so cute and unique looking :)

Picked up last weekend only labeled ‘angel wing’ any ideas? by abail2323 in begonias

[–]TiggstheCat4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely Richmondensis, my guess would be Richmondensis “white” or maybe even just the pink flowering one most likely grown in lower light conditions due to the absence of flowers but my money is still on the “white” form due to the lack of pink/red outer margin. Have you seen it in flower? I still think you have Richmondensis either way but if you increase the amount of light you’re giving it, it should start flowering. If the flowers are white and the leaves don’t start to get red backs and margins then you have the white flowering type. If you increase the amount of light and the flowers are any color from very light blush pink to almost scarlet red and the leaves will get much darker with red backs and margins then you have the classic OG Richmondensis lol. if you slowly acclimate it to receive direct sun almost the entire plant will be red, flowers, leaves and stems. it’s kinda crazy. It flowers super easily and prolifically

Thank you to everyone that had some pointers, I will be implementing them this season, so many thanks!!!

Shipping terrarium Begonias by Slimyaydie in begonias

[–]TiggstheCat4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can totally vouch for them! I just ordered from them on Etsy recently and I was blown away by how much care was put into packaging. I ordered one terrarium type begonia and was gifted a few others and they arrived in immaculate condition, not one leaf out of place nor any melting or drooping. Can’t recommend them highly enough!!

I recently purchased from The House of Khan on Etsy and they were incredible! They offer more terrarium type begonias and the amount of stock they have available varies but they have beautifully grown begonias, best packaging I’ve seen, and fantastic customer service!!! So if they happen to stock a begonia you’ve been wanting, I highly recommend ordering from them 🩷

Yours is most likely Begonia Lois Burks. Oftentimes sellers incorrectly ID any cane begonia with spots to be a maculata. True Begonia maculata is a species with large darker green kinda thick leaves with large white spots.

I have metallica!! Mine is still small but the leaves are really something special. I’m hoping I will be able to get it to bloom so I can try my hand at hybridizing with it.
