Our Indoor Rex Begonia Is Flowering

Very cool! I have a Rex begonia and there are small little red flower buds coming out from the middle right now. I was very surprised to see that. They aren't on a large stalk like yours are yet, but mine looks to be a different variety than yours. I wish I could post a picture in the comment section.

Oh my gosh - I love this! My rex begonia has spectacular dark foliage, loves its growing conditions, and has been super-easy to propagate, but it has never bloomed. I'm a little bit jealous ;)

The more I neglected mine, the more it flowered. Keep it a bit root bound and don't overwater and more sun.

My indoor is blooming as well:)

Rex Begonias are becoming more common in nurseries. I have seen them at my local garden center and Lowe's has them as well. Love the varieties with all the variegated colors! I have never seen one bloom either. I have tried to grow them a few times but I eventually overwatered them all and they died. I know they need excellent draining soil to perform well. Best of luck! 🌿

Bottom watering with rainwater is best for begonia's. But since your's is blooming and no soggy stems. You are doing it right in your conditions.

I really love these Begonia Rex plants! They are so pretty! Thank you so much for sharing a great video, she looks stunning! I've been searching for this one with the ruffled foilage.

Recently got my first begonia and am enjoying how fast it's pushing out new stunning leaves :) Hopefully the magic continues despite the lack of humidity!!!!
