The Angel Wing Begonia Frosty (Begonia coccinea 'Frosty'), a member of the Begoniaceae family, is native to the tropical forests of South America. Famous for its striking, wing-shaped leaves adorned with silver-white speckles and crimson undersides, this plant adds dramatic texture to indoor and shaded outdoor spaces. Thriving in bright, indirect light and moderate humidity, it blooms delicate clusters of pink or red flowers in summer. Hardy in zones 10-11, it’s a perennial favorite for its year-round visual appeal.
Symbolizing uniqueness and harmony, this begonia is a stunning decorative accent. Note that it is toxic to pets and children if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals.

Angel Wing Begonia Frosty Care Guide
While moderately low-maintenance, this begonia thrives with attentive care. Perfect for intermediate gardeners seeking a showstopping foliage plant.
Watering
- Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil dry out-typically every 5-7 days in summer, less in winter.
- Use lukewarm water to avoid root shock and ensure proper drainage to prevent soggy soil.
- Reduce watering if leaves yellow or drop suddenly.
Light
- Prefers bright, indirect light for vibrant foliage; east or north-facing windows are ideal.
- Avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch leaves and fade patterns.
- Supplement with grow lights in low-light areas to maintain compact growth.
Temperature
- Keep in 65-75℉ (18-24℃) avoid temperatures below 55℉ (13℃).
- Maintain 50 %+ humidity using pebble trays or misting (avoid wetting leaves directly).
- Protect from drafts, heaters, or AC vents.
Common Problems
- Root rot: Caused by overwatering, repot in fresh, well-draining soil if detected.
- Powdery mildew: Improve airflow and avoid overcrowding plants.
- Leaf drop: Often due to sudden temperature changes or underwatering.
- Leggy growth: Increase light exposure and prune regularly to encourage bushiness.
Best Locations & Uses
- Bright living rooms, sunrooms, or offices with filtered light
- Humid spaces like bathrooms or terrariums
- Stylish accent in hanging baskets or macramé planters
- Adds tropical flair to shaded patios or balconies (in warm climates)
- Ideal for pet-free homes or elevated shelves away from curious animals
- Pairs beautifully with ferns, calatheas, or philodendrons in group displays
