An elegant gal

Tied straighter and gangly branches pruned (more to come here). Looking forward to shapely floriferous growth. It is a stately begonia.

  1. It does look more balanced and symmetrical. Be patient with the plant. It's going to take several months to fill in and develop the drooping branch tips. Perhaps consider a small up light to high light the begonia or your other favorite plants.

  2. Thanks and yes I'll try to take a hands off approach with light weekly feeding with good dry-out time between waterings. Though with all the rain and humidity we've been having lately, no need to water. The weather is bound to dry up soon as we move into the winter season. (generally in the 60's - 70's here). No power on the terrace for uplights, but candle light from the table should reflect nicely on it's sizable habit. More later.
