Cane-type begonias are some of the best-performing and easiest begonias to grow. This most recognizable type of begonias are a tropical plant, native to Brazil, and as such, temperatures between 65 and 70 are best. Temperatures below 60 degrees can cause the plant to wilt.

Begonia maculata needs a fair level of humidity, but not too much; misting or placement near a humidifier helps if you live in dry conditions. Or placing over some watered pebbles in a tray.

When to Repot:

When you begin to see the root structure of the plant protrude out of the moss ball, it's time to consider moving it to a pot.

Repotting Steps:

1. Find a pot: Choose a pot that is roughly 1/2" wider in circumference than the moss ball.
2. Add Potting Soil: Fill the bottom of the pot with potting soil. Add enough soil so that when the ball is placed in the pot, the top of the ball sits slightly above the top of the pot.
3. Place the Ball: Place the entire ball (string and moss included) into the pot and add soil around it.
4. Soil Level: Ensure the top of the ball sits 1/2" above the soil line.
5. Water and Adjust: Water the plant and add additional soil if needed to maintain the proper soil level.
