Hello, begonia enthusiast! I'm so happy you've chosen to add this beautiful plant to your garden. I know you'll adore it! Now, let's take a look at the soil. This particular begonia, the amphioxus, does best with soil that drains well and has a pH of about 5.5 to 6.5, but there are many options. If you're feeling creative, you could even try a tropical and orchid plant mix! Or, if you're more into a DIY approach, you can use a soil mixture like perlite, vermiculite, peat moss, and charcoal.

I think this peat-based potting mix is great for your begonias. It'll keep the soil moist and let air circulate, which is perfect for them.

You can absolutely mix coco coir and sphagnum moss! The key is to ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot, and you've got it!
