Your most reliable source would be the builder of that model home. Since it is new there should be no problem finding the reference number.

Merci Nadine. C'est vrai, ses aiguillons sont redoutables et il m'a souvent bien abîmé vêtements et mains. Quand ils se prennent dans le chignon, c'est pas mal aussi.... Il est contre un haut mur exposé à l'ouest dans une cour abritée et cela semble lui plaire. Malgré la chaleur du climat un peu continental du Gard, il résiste pratiquement sans arrosage et ne semble pas souffrir. Il est amusant car il se laisse littéralement envahir chaque année par les pucerons verts mais sans aucune conséquence néfaste. Pascale

Your local climate is much different from mine. And also, I don't grow my plants indoors since I am lucky enough to have good weather all year long for my succulents here in SW Florida. But I'll give you my experience with this plant. It rots easily! Now I do have humid and in the summer, wet weather. This is not what you have. I am on my 3rd Campfire plant. Here is a picture of my first rotting plant. Notice how rich and dark the soil is! It retained too much water.Out of all of those stems and rosettes, I got only 2 tiny plants to root and grow. Almost all of what you see had rot and the stems were still pretty rigid, not limp at all. So this can be deceiving. Here's a closeup - every stem and rosette that I cut was slimy and falling apart. This happened rather quickly, by the way, in spite of being in full sun. I strongly encourage you to at least use 50% perlite with your soil. That was not enough for my wet conditions, but it works well for many people. I now have my newest plant in the full gritty mix and things are going well - - - but I am keeping a close eye on things this year. Good luck! This is one of my favorite plants. So colorful!

@hc mcdole thank you so much for all of the information and the wonderful pictures! Yes, he got them from Kroger! I was shocked as they are nothing like the typical plants I always see there so I went the next day to see what else may be there that he decided to pass over and there was a huge red and green maranta that stopped me in my tracks! It was splayed out in the center of the table and taking most of the space- so other plants were around....and on it. I would have taken it home then but would have needed more space so planed to return after my son's karate class.....well we know how this story goes! It was of course GONE and I was heartbroken yada yada lol but back to the ones my husband did get- the begonia was BEAUTIFUL day one and two as you can see from the pic.....but by the 3rd 4th day before I finally had time to repot it this weeked) it started declining rapidly. I think it was in too went soil for too long. The very tips started to fold down then the leaves started to get darker and soggy looking then crispy one by one. There are a few large leaves that still are darkened like this about halfway, but the smaller leaves were just crispy and barely hanging on. The roots were....okay as far as I could tell during the repot, Im just not sure if it will bounce back from this or not. Im hoping so its a beautiful plant. Would you suggest I do anything in particular?
