**Q: How often should I water my new Begonia Ferox and what is the best method to ensure it thrives?**
A: Water your Begonia Ferox when the top few centimetres of the soil feel dry, usually around 50% soil dryness. Always water thoroughly until it runs through the drainage holes and avoid letting the plant sit in water, as this could lead to root rot.
**Q: Can I keep my Begonia Ferox in a terrarium and does it need any special care if kept in one?**
A: Absolutely, the Begonia Ferox is perfect for terrarium settings due to its preference for high humidity, ideally between 80-90%. In a terrarium, maintain bright indirect light and monitor moisture levels to prevent over-saturation of the soil.
**Q: Is the Begonia Ferox suitable for homes with pets?**
A: Care should be taken as the Begonia Ferox is toxic if ingested by pets. It’s best to place the plant in an area inaccessible to pets or opt for a pet-safe plant variety if your furry friends tend to nibble on houseplants.
