This is just a grocery store wax begonia, but it was so big and beautiful by the end of the summer I decided to bring it inside. The soil is kept moist but not damp. The flowers fell off, as expected, but seemed to be doing fine for a few weeks until I noticed spider mites. Sprayed a couple times over a few days, still mites. So I doused it heavily…very heavily. And sprayed the soil heavily too. Using BioAdvanced brand organic insecticidal soap. Three days later, this.
