Angel Wing Begonia Frosty Rooted Starter Plant
Estimated delivery between 28 August and 30 August.
The Angel Wing Begonia Frosty Rooted Starter Plant, part of the Begoniaceae family, hails from tropical and subtropical regions of South America. Recognizable by its striking, asymmetrical, angel-wing-shaped leaves adorned with silvery-white "frosted" speckles, this plug-rooted starter plant adds dramatic texture to indoor and shaded outdoor spaces. Thriving in bright, indirect light, it’s a low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking vibrant foliage with minimal effort. Ideal for hardiness zones 10-11, this begonia can grow for years indoors with proper care.
Symbolizing creativity and harmony, the Angel Wing Begonia Frosty is prized for its decorative appeal. Note that it is toxic to pets and humans if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals.

Angel Wing Begonia Frosty Rooted Starter Plant Care Guide
This begonia is beloved for its eye-catching leaves and adaptability. Follow these guidelines to nurture your rooted starter plant into a lush, mature specimen.
Watering
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Use lukewarm, filtered water to avoid leaf spotting. Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent root rot.
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light (east or north-facing windows). Tolerates medium light but may lose leaf variegation. Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch leaves.
Temperature
Maintain 65°F-75°F (18°C-24°C). Protect from temperatures below 55°F (13°C) and sudden drafts.
Common Problems
- Leaf drop from overwatering or temperature fluctuations
- Powdery mildew in stagnant, humid air
- Leggy growth due to insufficient light
- Mealybugs or spider mites in dry conditions
- Brown leaf edges from low humidity or chemical-sensitive water
Best Locations & Uses
- Perfect for bright bathrooms or kitchens with natural humidity
- Ideal as a desk plant in well-lit home offices
- Adds tropical flair to shaded patios or balconies in warm climates
- Stunning in mixed container gardens with contrasting foliage plants
- Safe for homes without pets or placed on high, inaccessible shelves
