Is anyone interested in contributing to a care guide?

General Begonia Question

I keep having to research care requirements as I try to master the genus, but I'm finding both inconsistent information, and lack of detail; usually I end up finding a post on this sub with someone trying to troubleshoot one plant they are struggling with (or show off a happy plant!) Begonias seem to be so fussy and have a wide range of care requirements per species compared to other genuses- like, you can give someone general alocasia care info as a one-size-fits-most approach and they'll usually be fine, but that doesn't work here.

Maybe this already exists? But I would love to pull up a source of information to find what humidity %, substrate, lighting specifications, and whatnot each begonia will thrive in. If it exists somewhere on the worldwide web please let me know!

If not, I was thinking maybe people could comment what they're doing for their own happy begonia, with as much detail as possible so that I, and anyone else trying to master caring for a variety of begonia, have a place to go beyond unreliable google AI summaries.
