I don't know if I have any other fungal diseases. Some begonias exhibit some strange looks in winter but once outdoors and they put on new leaves and old leaves removed, everything looks good again. I think it is cultural - too wet, too dry, not humid enough, not enough light, etc. Some begonias actually look better indoors than outdoors for example: B. turrialbae is about to fill the bowl out I moved it to and the leaves are twice the size when I had it outside. I have a plastic lid hovering over it (not sealed but supported over it). A select few stay indoors year round such as B. rajah and B. Martin's Mystery (although this one does great outdoors - I always lose it when I move it indoors for winter).

Here is U475. It drinks the water. I placed 3 leaves of Caravan in the same pot - all rooted but no babies yet.
