House Plants/begonias

Question
I have just transplanted 25 different types of begonias tuberous, rhizo, rex etc.  Should I look up each name on line to see how they need to be cared for or is there just one way to care for begonias in general.

Answer
Dear Doris,

As you have so many different types of begonias I think it would be an excellent idea for you to look them up to see how they should be cared for.  Some begonias are more delicate than others so it will be beneficial for you to know which are which.
