Hello - I am new to this forum and thank you in advance for any assistance.

I am starting to branch out with begonias, from the red common angel wing that I've neglected for years (it has thrived wonderfully!) For reference, I am growing them outdoors year-round since I live on the south side of Tampa Bay, Florida.

I just purchased the two in the photo below. The larger (on the left of the photo) was just tagged "Angel Wing". The leaves are a dark green/purple with lavendar spots. It has what I think are very heavy canes for it's size. First, what's its name? and second, can I drown it and let it dry like I have my other one? Thirdly, does it prefer a bright area without direct sun or can it take some morning sun?

The second, smaller to the right, was tagged "Soli Mutata". Would this one be better in the house with supplemental lighting or will a shaded screen porch work? The porch gets just enough light for some indoor palms and I am growing pothos in there, it does lean towards the light. What is its humidity requirement?

Thank you again for any info you can provide.
