Read about Begonia

Begonias are a real classic among both pot plants and garden plants.

With their beautiful leaves and small flowers, they fit in everywhere, whether it's about having begonias indoors or one begonia outdoors as a summer flower. There are many different begonia varieties to choose from, and each type has its own charm. The speckled Begonia maculata, also called trout begonia, and the colorful one begonia rex, or rexbegonia, are two favorites for those who love unique plants. For those looking for something nostalgic, old-fashioned begonia, like begonia great-grandmother, is a fantastic houseplant. Another popular variant is begonia angel wing, which often goes by the name angel wings, with their elongated, pointed blades.

When it comes to begonia care is not very complicated. These easy-care indoor greens thrive best in indirect light, and they like the soil to be kept slightly moist but not wet. The best planting soil for begonias is a nutrient rich soil with good drainage. They also work great as plants that thrive in shade, making them versatile in placement.

How to care for a begonia in a pot?

How to care for indoor begonias is about providing regular but moderate watering and avoiding letting the soil dry out completely.

It is also easy to propagating plants such as begonias. By taking begonia cuttings or rexbegonia cuttings, you can create new plants. Another option is to plant cuttings from one leaf begonia, which is a popular method among plant collectors. To propagate leaf begonia, cut off a leaf or stem and place it in water or sphagnum moss until roots begin to develop.

In addition to their patterned leaves, some begonias also have pretty flowers, making them a perfect flowering houseplant. Angel wings, for example, are known for their fine flowers in bright colors. A red potted plant that some leaf begonia varieties offer can add a great splash of color to your home. Begonias fit just as well on the windowsill as in a decorative flowerpot.

Regardless of whether you choose a tropical rexbegonia, a trout begonia, or a nostalgic old-fashioned begonia, this is one of the most popular houseplants right now. With the right soil and care, they quickly become a beloved feature in your home or garden.
