Yeah, these Biophytums are typically pretty easy, if they have enough moisture and decent light. Letting them dry out can lead to a quick decline though. They also don't seem to like full sun for very long either, but can handle some pretty intense lighting in a tank. They do spread quickly once mature, so it's not as bad if one is lost at that point. I have one growing as a potted house plant (~20% humidity right now), so there doesn't seem to be a minimum amount of humidity required to grow them.

I have topped one plant a few times over the past two years and each new cut on the same stem always grows leads. Killer terrarium plant.

I have had this Begonia for years. I lost all but the base of one leaf 2 years ago and have been nursing it back ever since. It's a large Begonia with mature leaves on mine were 6-8"

Begonia masoniana maculata

This is a favorite of mine also. I have a small division I got in the summer. It's doing pretty well but I need to get it in a bit more light. That one look cool.
