The LBM mentioned above suffers more than most begonias when it dries out. I understand the fear of overwatering, but this is one specimen that (for me) just can't handle even a day of total dryness. Just a thought. It's a beautiful specimen, with shrub-like tendencies, althought it air-layers just like rexes do. But it's a bit fragile. Mine has never gone dormant, but I keep it in a south-facing window all winter, with plenty of sunlight.

I also have a true shrub-type called Thurstonii that does great. Here are those two, plus a new 'Looking Glass.' Thanks for sharing...
