Care Notes: Well-draining soil is necessary for this plant to thrive. If the plant begins to rapidly drop leaves, reduce watering frequency. Sensitive to standing water on the leaves. 

*Begonias are toxic to both humans and pets as all parts of the plant contain calcium oxalate crystals. We deem this plant safe for use with the above animals, but the more risk-averse may wish to avoid it. For more information please visits the ASPCA list of Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants

Shipping Notes: 

As a good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Live plants may vary in color, size, and appearance.

Great pop of color

Lovely bright green foliage, accompanied by small blooms of yellow and orange. Exceptional quality of the species is offered by JF- begonia can be tricky but the begonias I've received have never melted in my 'scapes or needed much time to establish. Never have had an issue with common insect pests or found any slugs munching on this begonia. Despite crazy unexpected temps during shipping (I'm guilty & often ignore LAG for plants) packaging was great and all arrived alive & well. great foreground plant, low maintenance. Color compliments well with Ficus pumila.10/10 performer.

Great EVERYTHING!

This was plant 4 of 4 that I ordered. As soon as I saw this little Begonia here on Josh's Frogs I knew I had to have it! But nothing prepared me for when it arrived and I saw it in person!!! It was in FULL flower, little tiny petite yellow flowers EVERYWHERE!! The plant was perfectly full too! Josh's Frogs is the epitome of a great store, doing a great thing for not only their customers but also their animals! I applaud you guys, and I will DEFINITELY be back for more!!!! Thank you for all that you do, and all you have done to get to where you are today! Keep up the great work!!

Just as advertised

Ever since I got this one it’s been in almost constant bloom even though it was in my quarantine container. The little yellow flowers are so delicate, and if kept in a moist environment it should give you no trouble like mine has done for me. The blooms come in and die quickly, but not before more are already coming in so it’s like there’s a surprise every other day from this plant.

Stunning healthy plant

as far as beauty, this plant is almost unmatched. Arrived with many of these little flowers. Arrived healthy and with 3 chutes. No one expects to get multiple plants, but when it comes in and I can split it into two plants, That is always a bonus.
