The Angel Wing Begonia Medora (Begonia coccinea 'Medora'), part of the Begoniaceae family, hails from the tropical regions of South America. Celebrated for its elongated, wing-shaped leaves with silver-white speckles and deep red undersides, this cultivar adds bold texture and color to indoor spaces. It produces cascading clusters of coral-pink flowers in summer, thriving in bright, indirect light and moderate humidity. Hardy in zones 10-11, it’s a resilient yet eye-catching perennial for year-round interest.
Symbolizing creativity and balance, the Medora is a statement piece for modern decor. Note that it contains calcium oxalate crystals, making it toxic to pets and children if ingested.

Angel Wing Begonia Medora Care Guide
This begonia is moderately easy to care for, ideal for gardeners who enjoy hands-on plant parenting. Follow these guidelines for lush growth:
Watering
- Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry- typically every 5-7 days in warm months, less in winter.
- Use room-temperature, filtered water to avoid leaf spotting.
- Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent waterlogged roots.
Light
- Prefers bright, indirect light for vibrant foliage- east or west-facing windows are ideal.
- Tolerates medium light but may produce fewer flowers.
- Avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
Temperature
- Maintain 60-75℉ (16-24℃) and protect from temperatures below 55℉ (13℃).
- Boost humidity with a pebble tray or humidifier (aim for 50-60%).
- Keep away from heating vents or cold drafts.
Common Problems
- Leaf curling: Often due to low humidity or underwatering.
- Brown leaf edges: Caused by dry air or mineral buildup, flush the soil monthly.
- Pests: Watch for mealybugs or spider mites; treat with neem oil.
- Leggy stems: Prune regularly and rotate the plant for even light exposure.
Best Locations & Uses
- Bright, humid spaces like bathrooms or sunrooms
- Eye-catching centerpiece for dining tables or office desks
- Trailing beauty in hanging baskets or tall plant stands
- Ideal for shaded patios or balconies in warm climates
- Safe for homes without pets or placed on high shelves
