  • In this video, I share all of my Begonia Rex care tips and tricks. I forgot to mention that they are VERY EASILY OVERWATERED so I share a foolproof method of identifying when to water my begonias so I can avoid accidentally overwatering them. Hopefully you find it helpful too. Also, make sure to watch till the end where I share how I treat and prevent powdery mildew, fungal rot and mealy bugs on my plants.

      My Rexy loves to be SOAKED. I wonder why. Like even if the soil is damp he will start to wilt. I have to soak it to get him to perk up. Maybe he needs to be repotted in better soil. It's the soil he came with when I bought him from home Depot as a hanging planter.

      Sorry about that delayed response, I have a tonne of comments to go through and sometimes don't get notified especially for my older videos. In nature, there is sufficient airflow for the water to evaporate naturally so they don't sit in the water for too long. Otherwise, the leaves will also rot. Hope that helps!

      Urine or pee is full of nitrogen. If you drink a lot of water yourself and do a 50/50 water to urine, it shouldn't smell. Urine is good for a lot of plants. Will also keep critters out of your garden if you pour around the exterior undiluted. Tell your hubby to go pee around your garden. 🤣 The will think you lost your mind.🤣🤣🤣 But it works!

      Oh no I'm so sorry to hear! If it's overwatered, you can try repotting it into fresh soil or put it in a spot that is warmer/gets higher light so it uses the water up quicker. Alternatively I heard some people stick a sponge or something similar in the soil to soak up some moisture.

    why the red leaves edges turns brown and not crispy?

    • @MyFellowFoliage
      @MyFellowFoliage  3 года назад +1

      If they turn brown rather than crispy it's usually a sign of fungal issues in my experience...

      How do you treat it?

    • @MyFellowFoliage

      I suggest to use an anti-fungal treatment, give it good air flow and make sure the leaves don't rub against each other as they grow
