Hello,
This is off topic, but for all who grow begonias indoors during the
winter, I have a hanging begonia in a pot in my kitchen greenhouse window,
which faces south. I just noticed that its leaves have become thin and
extremely pale (the begonia is 'Tom Ment II', with silver-speckled green
leaves and coral colored blooms occasionally. Is it getting too much
light? Should I move it to a dimmer location? Is the almost-constant snow
outside a factor? Should I fertilize? Water less? Water more? All advice
appreciated. (NB, it is an ancient begonia that grew in an east window in
our previous house. Nothing has changed except the exposure. We have no
suitable east window here.)
