Interesting Notes about Begonia:

This begonia is tuberous in nature with its thick succulent stems, and has pendulous branching that is perfect for the hanging basket. They do not like the extremes of too dry or wet so best to keep evenly moist in a well-drained soil. They need to be kept out of direct or full sun, preferring partial sun.
