Just a little bit of a basic introduction this particular begonia, this is not a common type, I believe is one of the rare ones that is recently been introduced in the local nursery here; uh perhaps about five years ago this is considered one of the exotic ones which is considered very expensive but however now it is very much commonly available though the price is not so cheap however it's very much affordable now compared to a few years ago.

How to Safe a Dying Cane Begonia / Repot Rooted Cuttings (Video)
In today's video, I would like to talk about a situation where you would find a cane begonia suddenly dying away. I have experienced many times in a situation where it appears to be a little bit of a mystery to me where a healthy begonia; Cane begonia and that seems to be a little bit like leggy and the leaves tend to drop off and don't look so healthy looking, something similar like the earlier Cane.
okay the other thing that I want to mention to you is I also use chopsticks to straighten the plant, so that it doesn't bend or fall or lose its balance. Eventually these canes will actually grow taller and you can actually replace these bamboo sticks chopsticks with stronger, sturdier sticks for them to take support. Other than that the basic care is very much simple, bright indirect light, uh also watering them with cautions because too much if they are too wet the whole thing can rot away; so just lightly watering them when the medium is slightly dry uh other than that occasionally I would say about once a week a foliar fertilizer on them so that they have enough nutrients and other than that I find that they are actually hardy plants. Another factor that I notice is that they do not have so much of a pest problem, unless uh if they are not placed in an adequate location.

Cane Begonia Collection: July - Dec 2021 Updates
Water only when the Medium is Dry
Foliar Fertilizer - Once a Week with 1/2 Dilution Strength.
Do take note that this one truly hate too much water - the leaves may also change colors, especially turning pale green and the red and burgundy coloration faded. Do take note that if this happens - most likely the plant lifespan is numbered and the eventually leaf by leaf - they start dropping and the rhizome dried up or rotting and it is too late to safe the plant or rectify the problem.
