About Cane Begonia

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! ā ļø

What is this plant? So Iām in the middle of making a terrarium, and I got a begonia. The only problem is the plant that it says it is on the pot is very difficult to find really any information about. Greg says itās a Polka Dot Begonia, while the pot says Begonia Aerial. There is also no Begonia Aerial in Gregās system. To me personally, it doesnāt look a lot like a Polka Dot. Anyways, the only place Iāve seen have really any information about Aeriels is on Steveās Leaves (no idea if this is reputable though). Currently very confused lol. #PlantID

Begonia Maculata getting translucent Hi guys, just wondering if anyone know what is causing begonia leaves getting translucent, it has been growing rapidly for over 2 months, since I repotted it into tree fern fibre, I water it when the substrate is almost dried, fully saturating it. My suspicion is that I might have put too much water while watering recently as it is normally dry after two weeks, but it is still quite moist #Begonia #HappyPlants

Just appreciating the view here in my office. I feel like this is begonia central. It is also the home to several zzs and African Violets. š. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #PlantLove #ADHDPLANTLOVERS #ADHDSQUIRREL #neurodivergentplantaddicts #NeurodivergentandPlanty #theamigos #donttellmyhusbandyoucanmailorderplants #Begonia

My #ChineseHibiscus stays putting out new blooms this past week! Thereās been a new one just about every day šŗš¤ Also the cold snap finally left and weāre getting a short reprieve, so #BonnieTheTreeFrog emerged from the burrow she made in the soil of my #Begonia and #BennyTheTreeFrog came out of hiding as well! Poor babies both look hungry and tired. Theyāll be feasting on bugs tonight to replenish their energy stores. Iām playing with the idea of getting an aquarium and keeping them as pets, since theyāre both so comfortable with me. Havenāt decided yet, still doing research to see if itās a good idea. Normally Iād never consider taking a wild animal as a pet but from what Iāve read this type of frog does pretty well as long as you know how to recreate their environment and feed them. š¤šø and here is a photo of an adorable bumblebee asleep in one of my #Cosmo. If you want to attract #pollinators to your yard, you should definitely try cosmos! I get dozens of bees every year and the males fall asleep in the flowers every night and itās pretty stinking cute š„° š #pollinatorgarden #PetsAndPlants #PetsOfGreg #Hibiscus #BloomsforDays #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #babevila

Gabrielle started out as 3 cuttings from my sister's huge mother plant. She traveled from Florida to Missouri on an airplane. She lost all but a few small leaves. She ended up in my kitchen in some water to grow more roots. Once she was ready, I planted her into soil. A few months later and now look at her! I do so love a good begonia leaf and these are STUNNING. Can't wait to watch this gal grow even more. #angelwingbegonia #begonia #begoniabunch #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #plantaddict #newgrowth #planttherapy #plantlove #theamigos #jesssjungle #propagation #propagationstation #greggang #plantmafia
Care Summary for Cane Begonia
Cane Begonia
Greg recommends:
0.5 cups every 9 days
< 3ft from a window
Repot after 2x growth
Based on the 4ā pot your plant is in, and that it doesnāt get direct sunlight.
What other plant parents say
This is my highest performer by far. Less than a foot away from a west facing window and gets filtered direct sun for most of the day. About a foot away from a humidifier. Iāve had this for maybe 6 months and Iāve chopped it several times because it likes to spread out. Very rewarding plant. Cuttings root easily in water.
