How to Grow and Care for Bolivian begonia

Bolivian begonia, also known as Bolivia Begonia, Mountain Begonia, Argentinian Begonia, Santa Cruz Begonia

Bolivian begonia is an easy-to-care-for plant known for its vibrant and colorful flowers. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires regular watering, though it is essential to let the soil dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Bolivian begonia excels in environments with bright, indirect light and appreciates high humidity. Avoid overwatering and excessive direct sunlight, as these can impair the plant's health.
