I keep killing my begonia here in Merritt Island. I think I gave it too much love and water over the hot summer. How often do you water these beauties?
neglect! i NEVER water these guys, tho they are in partial sun. yes, that means that they die back a bit in june and again in august, but they look great the rest of the year.
