Hallo begonia lovers, I am new in Begonia. Here are the plants I have, mostly pink and white to trade with any other begonia. Thanks.

Thanks Costa Rica, but that plant is not quite the same as what I have. It's similar, but my plant has serrated (toothed) leaves. I took some photos of it, and will re-post when i get the chance (no computer at home).

Right now pavonina is in a small glass container as it has been cut back. Eventually it will reach fruit ripening bowl size and need to be cut back again because my growing area gets so crowded. Same size for Bs. decora, soli-mutata, sudjanae, versicolor, , rajah, goegoensis. However to start small keep an eye out for glass double boilers. You can remove the bands and handle and have good medium sized growing areas. B. chlorosticta has never been a biggie for me, it is on the edge of the lights which is probably why it has never bloomed. It is in a dbl boiler sized pot but also sitting inside a 10 gal. fish tank with some others. One gal. glass jugs, if you can find them, make good containers. I have Bs. exotica and benitochiba in one each, they survive best there with very reduced light. There is a clear top on the fish tank, I should have said. Actually I grow small species begonias too, way too many of everything.

In what way is that little cutting dying? It doesn’t need ‘saving’. It just needs consistent sensible care. Over the time you’ve been posting I think a lot of your losses have been due to constantly fiddling with your plants and disregarding advice. Growing stuff shouldn’t be stressful. Quite the opposite.
