Light

bright, indirect light, no direct sunlight

Water

keep the soil moist but not soggy wet

Temperatures

Most Begonia like it warm. Keep them in temperatures between 20 and 27 degrees Celsius. 

Humidity

Most Begonia will do well in moderate humidity. However, especially the tropical species we sell might require very high humidity (75%+) to survive and thrive. If this is the case, it will be mentioned in the product description.

Soil

Keep your Begonia in moisture-retentive, but fast-draining soil. It should be slightly acidic - adding clay, loam or sand can help with that. Especially the more tropical Begonia like soil-less medium such as sphagnum moss.

Toxicity

Begonia are toxic to animals if ingested.
