I bought this Begonia about 2 months ago and it just had a label in it that said Rhizomatous Begonia, nothing about the amount of sun or light, water etc. I've looked and looked at different Begonia's on the internet and found one that said Rex Begonia that looked a lot like this one but I thought Rex Begonia's were small ... this plant has larger leaves than any Rex I've ever seen ... but, LOL maybe I haven't seen a lot of Rex's. I bought this plant because I fell for the shape and color of the leaves and I sure would like to know more about it's care and culture so I can keep it alive ... the few Rex's I've bought over the years have died quickly under my care.

I'm hoping some of you Begonia Pro's will have some advice for me on how to care for this one. I have a couple of photo's.
