Light
Place Begonia Thelmae in a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves. A window with indirect light is ideal.

Maintain a constant temperature between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
Watering
Keep the soil constantly slightly moist. Water when the top layer of soil begins to dry out. Avoid overwatering, as Begonia Thelmae is susceptible to root rot.
