About Begonia serratipetala
There are over 2,000 species of Begonia, and horticulturalists have created even more varities by cultivating all sorts of shapes and colors! They're native to tropical regions around the world, but are now found in homes in cold climates as well. Their taxonomy is far more complex than other plants, with species belonging to different cultivar groups. They contain oxalic acid, so be sure to keep them out of reach in homes with pets or children! ⚠️

Any Begonia wet stick propagation tips? My begonia serratipetala has been struggling since I got it a few weeks ago. Most of the leaves have fallen off leaving bare stems. I have read that the safest bet to propagate wet sticks is moss. I am new to both sphagnum moss and propagating wet sticks. Anyone have advice or tips? #Begonia #help

Ok, calling all Plant and Art fans! (& Especially Plant-Art fans!! Lol 😂).... Or, just anyone who just wants a pictorial reference to ID certain species... I saw a post earlier (which I've now lost!! Sorry!!) with a Philo leaf ID picture on it... So I shared my similar Pothos pic and realised I'd lost the other couple I had saved.. Long story short... I ended up contacting the artist directly (after finding her again on Insta) to check she was ok with me reposting her artwork and she answer REALLY quickly with a resounding YES! 🥰 She's a plant fiend (like us), who has just joined us on Greg! Lol 🤣 & I'm SO excited to share these BEAUTIFUL diagrams that she hand drew... Of loads of different species too! 🤩 So... please welcome @halleplants! You can find her at @HallePlants on Insta, or (if you love these as much as I do!!) Plantification.ca on Etsy and Halleplants on Amazon!! Not only has she joined us on Greg...

The Philo ones I love in particular! You can get the single or as a group of four (I've only posted one here) but even if you're not into them as art... They're really bloody useful just as a visual ID guide! Please check her out... My new yoga-studio-come-plant room (once the renovations are finished) will be COVERED in these gorgeous prints!! 😍 Halle... I hope you see these when you join!

Begonias leaf tips curling and wilty? #BegoniaBunch Any info on what’s happening with this begonia? I can’t seem to find a solution. I’ve tried gently adjusting to less water or more water but keeps happening. I’ve got a prop from this plant in the same location and no issues with leaf tips. 🤷♀️ Water issue?? Light issue? #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Begonia #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner
