Hi there, you have wonderful window set-ups there! I just wanted to say that I have a couple Rex begonias that get filtered light through a lace curtain during the day in a south window and seem to be doing very well. I use african violet soil mix (Lambert) with added vermiculite for my begonias & violets and that seems to work well; I have a rooted begonia leaf in that mix too. I also feed them with an African Violet liquid food (Schultz) at 1/2 the recommended strength. So, pretty much, I treat them about the same way as I do my violets. I also lightly mist them (and the violets) once or twice a day. ChuLin
