I told you guys I was getting the Seattle Twist Begonia. It arrive today. A nice healthy plant.

I was pleasantly surprised when a Anne Anderson Angel Wing begonia was included free of charge with the order. I have a question. I've read that the Angel Wings do not require quite as much humidity as the Rex Begonia's. Is it true?

Also, I bought a used humidifier off Ebay for dirt cheap. It's a really nice one, has great reviews and ratings on the internet. It is an Essick Air 4-Speed Tower Humidifier, D46 720. Only paid $29.99 for it. Retail price on these is around $99 new. Oh, and that was with free shipping too. I couldn't believe it! It is reported to be an open store box, with no manual. But I found the manual on the internet.

I'm planning on putting this humidifier in my office with my Rex Begonia and that Episcia I purchased, that you guys said would need very high humidity. Should the Angel Wing be fine with a pebble tray, or should I move it into my office too?

Episcias Pink Brocade.
