Unit price perEstimated delivery between 26 March and 28 March.
Angel Wing Begonia 'Lois Burke' is a striking cane-type begonia admired for its large, asymmetrical angel-wing-shaped leaves marked with silver-white speckling and rich red undersides. Native to tropical South America, this Begoniaceae family hybrid brings bold contrast, texture, and color to indoor plant collections.
This begonia develops upright, arching canes that typically reach 18-24 inches indoors. Under proper lighting, it produces clusters of delicate pink to red flowers that complement its dramatic foliage. Compared to varieties such as Begonia Lucerna, 'Lois Burke' is valued for its compact growth habit and pronounced variegation.

Care Instructions
Lighting
Bright, indirect light is ideal. East- or west-facing windows work well. Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.
Watering
Keep soil lightly moist during spring and summer. Water when the top 1 inch of soil dries. Reduce watering in winter.
Soil & Fertilization
Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark. Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Temperature
Prefers 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
Humidity
Moderate to high humidity (50-60%) is preferred. Use a pebble tray or humidifier. Avoid misting leaves directly.
Maintenance
Prune leggy stems to encourage bushier growth. Remove damaged or yellowing leaves as needed.
Propagation
Propagation is done through stem cuttings taken from healthy canes. Cuttings root easily in water or moist, well-draining soil.
Common Problems
• Powdery mildew from poor airflow
• Root rot caused by overwatering
