Unit price perEstimated delivery between 11 June and 13 June.
The Angel Wing Begonia Lois Burke is a young, rooted cane begonia ready to grow into a striking tropical houseplant. This variety is prized for its large, asymmetrical, wing-shaped leaves marked with silver-white speckles and deep red undersides. Native to the rainforests of South America, this Begoniaceae family member thrives indoors when provided with bright, indirect light and consistent care.
As a rooted starter plant, it arrives already established, making it easier to acclimate and grow compared to unrooted cuttings or seeds. With proper care, the Lois Burke begonia can mature to 18-24 inches tall and produce clusters of soft pink to red flowers.

Care Instructions
Lighting
Bright, indirect light is ideal. East or west-facing windows work well. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
Watering
Water when the top 1 inch of soil is dry. Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Reduce watering during winter.
Temperature
Prefers 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
Humidity
Thrives at 50-60% humidity. Use a pebble tray or humidifier. Avoid misting leaves.

Use a well-draining, peat-based mix with perlite or orchid bark. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring through fall.
Maintenance
Trim leggy stems to encourage bushier growth. Remove damaged or yellowing leaves as needed.
Propagation
Once mature, propagation is easy using stem cuttings with nodes. Cuttings can be rooted in water or moist soil.
