Angel Wing Begonia

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light, ideally placed near east or west-facing windows to promote intense leaf color and flowering. While they can tolerate medium light— too little light causes leggy growth. Intense, direct sunlight can scorch foliage. They need 2–4 hours of bright light daily, potentially supplemented with artificial light in winter. 

If grown outside, this plant does well in bright morning light and afternoon shade.

When the top inch of soil feels dry, water thoroughly until it drains, then let it dry out slightly before the next watering to keep soil consistently moist but never soggy. Reduce water frequency during the winter season.

This plant may need pruning or staking if it starts to become unruly or misshapen. Regular pinching begun early to encourage branching will produce a fuller plant with more bloom. We recommend Modern Sprout Garden Shears or Jungle Club Pruning Shears.

Your plant needs food too! We recommend Leafy Plant Food or Grow Organic Plant Food Concentrate.

Proper nutrition is important to the health of your plant and its longevity. To ensure your plant is getting the appropriate nutrition, use a fertilizer labelled for this tree type and apply according to the label.
