While it can tolerate short periods of dryness, extended drought should be avoided, as the plant tends to decline if kept too dry for prolonged periods. It is also somewhat sensitive to overwatering, making a well-draining growing medium and careful moisture management essential for long-term success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mother plant is maintained in a humidity cabinet with humidity levels ranging between 60% and 75%, where it has exhibited vigorous growth and excellent foliage quality. It is positioned approximately one foot beneath a T5 grow light, receiving consistent bright, indirect light. Under these conditions, the plant develops its characteristic bold coloration and maintains a healthy, compact growth habit. While it appreciates elevated humidity, good airflow and proper watering practices remain important to prevent moisture-related issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"She Dreams in Green","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44134600704078,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/3860\/9998\/files\/149478E5-6B46-4519-AEC7-D6336A13C8E3.jpg?v=1786121910","url":"https:\/\/she-dreams-in-green.myshopify.com\/products\/begonia-starry-nights","provider":"She Dreams in Green","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
