However, \u003cb\u003estrictly protect it from direct, scorching midday sunlight\u003c\/b\u003e, which can quickly burn its microscopic, fragile leaves.

This miniature begonia has a delicate root system, so it prefers consistent, light moisture, but it does not tolerate waterlogged roots or boggy conditions. \u003cb\u003eWater the plant moderately as soon as the top layer of soil has dried slightly between waterings.\u003c\/b\u003e Since this young plant is in a small 6 cm pot, it will dry out moderately quickly, so check the moisture level regularly. The plant \u003cb\u003estrictly cannot tolerate its roots soaking in stagnant water\u003c\/b\u003e in the saucer, nor having water poured directly onto its delicate foliage.

This begonia greatly appreciates moderate to high humidity, so it will be grateful to be placed near a humidifier or grown in a more humid microclimate (for example, in a terrarium or glass container). In winter, strictly protect it from the dry, hot air of heating radiators and cold, icy drafts!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🐾 \u003cb\u003ePets:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eKeep away from pets.\u003c\/b\u003e Like all begonias, this variety contains calcium oxalates, which may cause mild digestive tract irritation in cats and dogs if the leaves are chewed.

Since this is a young but already strong plant in a 6 cm pot, allow it to first acclimatize to the conditions in your home.
