Know before you buy
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, so it is best kept in a location inaccessible to your pets.
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near an east-facing window or a spot with filtered sunlight will provide the energy it needs to maintain its prolific double blooms.
Keep the soil consistently moist but well-draining. Check the top inch of soil regularly; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water, but be careful not to let the plant sit in standing water.
Yes, it can be kept outdoors in shady spots if you live in a warm climate. Ensure the temperature stays between 60–75°F and protect it from harsh, direct sunlight which can scorch the foliage.
The Blooming Superba Double Begonia actually prefers to be slightly root-bound. You will only need to repot it approximately every three years.
It prefers medium to high humidity levels. If your home is particularly dry, you can improve its environment by using a pebble tray or placing it near other plants to create a more humid microclimate.
