The Angel Wing Begonia Medora Rooted Starter Plant, a member of the Begoniaceae family, hails from South America’s tropical climates. This plug-rooted starter showcases dramatic, asymmetrical leaves resembling angel wings, adorned with silver polka dots and deep red undersides. Perfect for indoor displays or shaded outdoor areas, it thrives in bright, indirect light and requires minimal upkeep. Suited for hardiness zones 10-11, this plant offers year-round visual appeal and occasional clusters of pink or red blooms when cared for properly. Its compact size makes it ideal for tabletops, terrariums, or hanging baskets.
Symbolizing harmony and creativity, this begonia adds a tropical flair to any space. Note: Contains calcium oxalate crystals, toxic if ingested by pets or humans.
Angel Wing Begonia Medora Rooted Starter Plant: Benefits
- Enhances indoor air quality by absorbing airborne toxins like benzene

- Adapts well to high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens
- Compact growth (12-18 inches tall) fits small spaces and urban gardens

Angel Wing Begonia Medora Care Guide
This low-fuss tropical plant rewards growers with vibrant foliage when given proper care. Follow these guidelines to ensure healthy growth.
Watering
Water every 7-10 days when the topsoil feels dry. Use distilled or rainwater to prevent leaf tip browning. Reduce watering frequency in winter by 30-40%.
Light
Prefers 4-6 hours of bright, filtered light daily. East-facing windows are ideal. Rotate the plant monthly for even growth. Supplemental grow lights work well in darker spaces.
Temperature
Keep between 60°F-80°F (15°C-27°C). Avoid sudden temperature drops below 55°F (13°C) or cold drafts from windows/AC units.
Common Problems
- Yellowing leaves from overwatering or poor drainage
- Leaf scorch marks from direct sunlight exposure
- Stunted growth due to compacted soil or low humidity
- Aphid infestations on new growth during dry spells
- Root rot from standing water in saucers
Best Locations & Uses
- Brightens shaded office corners or north-facing windowsills
- Creates lush accents in humidity-rich terrariums or sunrooms
- Pairs beautifully with peperomia or prayer plants in mixed displays
- Safely elevates home decor on high shelves or plant stands
- Adds vertical interest in warm-climate shade gardens (zones 10-11)
