Dragon Wing
About Dragon Wing
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! ⚠️

How to fertilize Dragon Wing

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 after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Help, my begonia is dying! Is there any way to save it? I got this begonia at the end of May and for a while it was doing really well, then it a couple weeks ago it started taking a turn for the worse. I may have put it in too big of pot, so I just repotted it in this small plastic pot. I’m worried I over watered it. It’s been outside the whole time I’ve had it. I really love this plant because it’s variegated. Is there any way I can still save it? Thank you so much!! #help #helpneeded #Begonia #BegoniaBunch #BegoniaBrigade #sickplants

What might cause begonia maculata brown patches? I’ve had this plant for about 2-3 months and she started with 4 leaves. She’s been growing a lot but I’ve noticed brown patches on some leaves! I give her water I’d say once every 1-2 weeks roughly (when the soil seems drier), the humidity is usually around 50%, and she’s under a grow light. Weirdly, despite the brown spots, she put out that very big leaf recently and it looks like she’s about to bloom I think, so I’m confused 😅 Any advice? #Begonia #BegoniaBunch #BegoniaMaculata #sickplants #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy

Begonia Rex spots Noticed some yellow spots on some bottom leaves on my begonia Rex but I cannot seem to find anything similar online. Has anyone had it? What could cause that? Fungal ? #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Begonia
