So I have finally gotten a B. pavonina, which is now the creme de la creme of my modest collection and have struggled to find any good advice on this. The post history mostly has to do with people selling cuttings or desperately seeking them out.

So, any advice on growing these? Humidity? Viv. v. house plant, etc. I really, really, really want this one to do really well so any experience would be supremely appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Adam

P.S. no photo can do these babies justice!

@Teddy, you're giving me a lot of credit, but hopefully I'll grow it well enough to get cuttings ...

Josh, thanks for the advice, exactly the kind of info I was hoping to get. I've got it around 75% humidity right now, and hopefully it will manage till my big 90g project arrives. So thanks so much for the advice (just read through your design pages on your website, super nice articles)

hey Michael, thanks for the input. Could you describe a little more how you set up your container for them, as I am way more invested in growing the plant than in keeping it in a viv. Thanks in advance!

as an update,
about 2/3 of the leaves melted and I'm just starting to get some new growth. Pretty standard behavior with finnicky begonias like these?
