Angel Wing Begonia Benigo Pink Care Guide
While the Angel Wing Begonia Benigo Pink is relatively low-maintenance, it thrives when given the right care. Here's how you can help your begonia flourish:
Watering
This begonia prefers to be kept moist but not soggy. Water the plant when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Ensure that the pot has good drainage, as Benigo Pink does not like to sit in water. Using room temperature or distilled water is best. Avoid wetting the foliage to prevent the development of mold or fungal issues.
Light and Temperature
The Angel Wing Begonia Benigo Pink thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its delicate leaves. It grows best in temperatures between 65°F to 75°F, and should be protected from drafts and sudden temperature changes. It prefers a warm and stable environment to support its tropical nature.
Humidity
Being a tropical plant, the Benigo Pink loves humidity. If your indoor environment is dry, increase the humidity around your plant by placing it on a pebble tray, grouping it with other plants, or using a humidifier. Mist the leaves occasionally to keep the humidity levels up.
Soil, Repotting, and Fertilizing
Repot your Angel Wing Begonia when it outgrows its pot, ideally every 1-2 years. Use a well-draining potting mix that’s slightly acidic, such as a mix formulated for begonias or other tropical plants. Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer), every 4-6 weeks. In the winter, reduce fertilizing as the plant enters a rest period.
Propagation
The Benigo Pink can be propagated easily from leaf or stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy leaf or stem, and place it in a pot with a moist, well-draining soil mix or place the cutting in water until roots develop. Once rooted, transfer it to soil.
Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues
Prune off dead or damaged leaves to encourage new growth and maintain a neat appearance. Common issues include yellowing leaves, which may indicate overwatering or low humidity, and pest infestations like aphids or mealybugs. Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to keep them free from dust.
