New to Rex Begonias with questions

Benko
11 years ago

I'm about a year new to houseplants and had some good luck with a few easy growing plants. I couldn't resist buying the one you see in the attached pic at whole foods. I live in 9th floor apt with large east facing windows.

Questions:

1. I've read that Rexs like humidity but not being directly misted. Do they need extra humidity even in the fall/winter? Does placing the pot on some pebbles which are in water really do anything?

2. I've read that Rexs like strong indirect light. Is direct light 4' away from east facing window close enough?

3. Anything else I should know? Oh and if anyone knows the name of this particular kind of Rex, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for your time!.

Scott
