Angel Wing Begonia Lois Burke: Overview
The Angel Wing Begonia Lois Burke Rooted Starter Plant is a young, established cane begonia ready to grow into a stunning tropical specimen. Known for its large, wing-shaped leaves adorned with silver-white speckles and deep red undersides, this Begoniaceae family member originates from South America’s rainforests. The rooted starter features healthy stems and leaves, already acclimated to thrive in indoor environments. With proper care, it will mature to 18-24 inches tall, producing clusters of delicate pink or red flowers under bright, indirect light.
Ideal for beginners or collectors, this starter plant offers a head start in cultivating a lush, tropical display. Compared to seeds or unrooted cuttings, its established roots ensure faster growth and easier care.

Air-purifying: Filters indoor pollutants like benzene and formaldehyde.
Compact potential: Manageable size suits small spaces while maturing into a statement plant.
Propagation-ready: Once mature, easily propagate by stem cuttings.
