Angel Wing Begonia Medora: Overview
Angel Wing Begonia Medora (Begonia coccinea 'Medora') - Rooted Starter Plant
The Angel Wing Begonia Medora is a cane-type begonia admired for its elongated, wing-shaped leaves marked with silver-white speckling and rich red undersides. A member of the Begoniaceae family, this cultivar originates from tropical regions of South America and is well-suited for indoor growing with consistent care.
This plant produces cascading clusters of coral-pink flowers, typically during warmer months when grown in bright, indirect light. Its upright growth habit and decorative foliage make it a strong visual accent for indoor plant collections. When mature, the Angel Wing Begonia Medora can reach approximately 18-30 inches tall.
This listing is for a rooted plant that is already established, allowing for easier acclimation and faster growth compared to unrooted cuttings.
Note: This plant contains calcium oxalate and is toxic if ingested by pets or children.
