This week PlantStories is back, with a short episode on one of the world's most flashy houseplants; Begonias!  Here we talk about some of their popular uses and meanings, where they all come from and some interesting facts from history that make these plants an intriguing part of our houseplant collection. 

Begonias have a few different types that we mention and we go into what some of those type mean and how that makes their care different.  We also talk about some of the edible (yes edible!) aspects of the begonia plant and some of its other uses to the people of the world.  Remember not to ingest plants like this without consultation from experts!  We kept this one a little shorter for you, but stay tuned for our next episode on Ferns (which is bound to be a little bit longer).
Thanks for listening!
