I have had this plant in my home for a couple of months, and we are finally the best of friends. The first little while I struggled with perfecting the lighting, as i had a few leaves dry and fall off for seemingly no good reason. I found that as long as it is shaded by my other begonia (torch) than it does perfectly! I believe it may be because of all the white on the leaves, so they are a little more delicate than my other cane begonias. It is a very fast grower, and even bloomed for me. The flowers dropped off after about a day (i forgot to water that day, woops), but they were very pretty while they lasted. I cannot wait until this plant grows more so i can cut and propagate to have a more full pot. 100% recommend.
