Hi Everyone!

I love cane type begonias and here is what I've learned to do after many years of growing them. Don't overwater them or they will rot and get fungus infections. Keep out of direct sun, its not their habitat and they will not grow well or set bloom. They tend to be heavy feeders and will bloom well if fed regularly. When I bring them indoors in the Fall I place them in a sunny south facing window and often have to prune them to fit their new location. In the Spring they go back outdoors in a sun dappled location. By late July or August they are covered with huge clusters of flowers. The plant illustrated is about 5 feet tall and just a wide.

Thanks for your responses! I'm new to this site and I'm just learning the ropes.
