Dragon Wing Begonia
About Dragon Wing Begonia
There are over 2,000 species of Begonia, and horticulturalists have created even more varities by cultivating all sorts of shapes and colors! They're native to tropical regions around the world, but are now found in homes in cold climates as well. Their taxonomy is far more complex than other plants, with species belonging to different cultivar groups. They contain oxalic acid, so be sure to keep them out of reach in homes with pets or children! ⚠️

Dragon Wing Begonia may have difficulty thriving, and will drop leaves 🍃, without ample sunlight.

How to fertilize Dragon Wing Begonia
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Dragon Wing Begonia after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Begonia #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #PlantMail I found a great nursery on Etsy that sells Begonias!! Look what arrived today finally!! My Strawberry Twist Rex Begonia!!!🍓🤩I’m so excited. She’s a little damaged from the travel because the post office 🏤 didn’t deliver on Saturday as promised. I was worried knowing she had to sit in a dark box for two extra days☹️. She has a few browning/crunchy leaves but overall she still looks 😊. I can’t wait to see how she flourishes once I get her potted up and she recovers. @princesspitstop @LilRootedWitch @MariansOasis

Hi, #Greggers 🌿 I want to shoutout my bestie Rachael! You all may know her as @theloveofplants 💖 Those who know her, know she is one of the kindest humans alive😇 Case in point: she sent me #PlantMail, from my very favorite nursery! 📦🤗 I was elated upon opening the box—She got me two of my #wishlistplant—an #AlocasiaDragonScale and a variegated #StrawberryBegonia 😍🍓♥️🥰 They are both SO beautiful, the pictures don’t even do them justice. The pink underside of the Strawberry begonia leaves, the beautiful colors on both plants, the gorgeous texture of their leaves—can you tell I’m in love? 😍🪴 I am so blessed to have met her (and honestly, all of you! I love this community 😘). Gotta give Rachael her flowers 💐—both figuratively and literally! I thought she deserved a public shoutout 😊 Thank you again, girl! You are wonderful, not only for your generosity, but your support, encouragement, and making me laugh daily! You are definitely my kindred spirit 👯♀️🥹🌿💖 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #BegoniaBunch #Begonia #PlantHaul #PLANTMAFIA #plantfriendsarethebestfriends #GregGang #PlantGiftsAreTheBestGifts #GabriellasNursery

My sad Begonia My poor Begonia is not doing well. I always felt the leaves were thin. Now its completely droopy. I am not sure if its over watered or underwatered or if its too much sun (in a south facing window). Thoughts? HELP. #BEGONIA #happyplants #unhappyplants #ilovegreg #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Today, I built a terrarium! I put in a fern, a begonia, a nerve plant and a random tiny plant I had laying around! Hopefully, the plants will play nicely together. In the meantime, I’m just enjoying my latest project! 😁 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #GregGang #Greggers #Terrariums #Terrarium #Terrariumtribe #NervePlant #Begonia #FernFriends #theamigos #LaSiguanaba

My plant has brown and white spots on some of its leaves? #Begonia This is my first begonia and it looked good when I got it but it's starting to look worse. I don't think it needs water it has been raining. It doesn't get a lot of sun just morning sun. Is the reddish color under the leaves normal? Does she need to be repotted? Does she have bugs? I do live on a gravel road. Does she just not like the dust?

What’s going on with my begonia? My poor begonia has been declining rapidly. Does anyone know what is going on with her? She’s got these white spots on her soil and her leaves look terrible and she has stopped her rapid growth. I thought it was fungus and have been treating her with copper fungicide, but it is not working. #Begonia
