Another one where success eluded me for a long time was this one, Begonia brevirimosa. Finally found the right combination of soil and growing environment to keep this one not only happy but thriving. I grow it in a fish tank terrarium with a domed lid and fluorescent lighting. I had a standard 3" dome but it pushed that one right off and I went to a tall dome from our local hydroponic store in San Francisco (not too far from GG park http://www.plantitearth.com/ ). This plant was given to me by a friend who can grow them like weeds!
