The Angel Wing Begonia (Begonia coccinea) is a striking and popular houseplant known for its distinctive angelic-shaped, asymmetrical leaves with silver markings. These leaves are often glossy and can come in various shades of green, adding an elegant touch to any indoor space. This begonia variety is also appreciated for its delicate pendulous flowers, which can be white, pink, or red, gracefully hanging from the arching stems.
To ensure the Angel Wing Begonia thrives, it requires a well-draining and rich potting mix. It prefers bright, indirect light, as direct sunlight can scorch its leaves. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. A humidifier or misting will help ward off browning leaf tips. As with many begonias, this variety appreciates a slightly more humid environment. It is essential to avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Fertilize the plant every 2 to 4 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering.
The Angel Wing Begonia is a perennial plant often grown as a houseplant due to its preference for warmer temperatures. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 10 to 12 but can also be cultivated as an indoor plant in colder regions. Outdoors, it can reach a height of up to 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) with a similar spread. When grown as a houseplant, it typically stays more compact, making it suitable for various indoor spaces. Its arching stems give it a graceful appearance, contributing to its popularity as a decorative houseplant.
The Angel Wing Begonia contains substances that may be toxic to both humans and pets if ingested. The plant's sap can cause skin irritation, and ingesting any part of the begonia may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. As a precaution, it's advisable to keep this plant out of reach of children and pets and handle it with care to avoid any potential skin irritation.
