Begonia boliviensis not thriving :(

2 years ago
last modified: 2 years ago

For the past several seasons I have put in this exact container, in this exact location, Dragon Wing begonias (along with an alocasia) with very relialble success, But this year I thought I would spice things up ;), not be so predictable, and instead of Dragon Wings I went with begonia boliviensis 'Santa Cruz'. They went in this pot around mid May and the 2 months since they have just been middling...not having grown much, yellowing leaves and "rust" spots. I need your expertise to turn things around with this variety of begonia ie how do their growing requirement differ from "Dragon Wing"?
