Angel Wing Begonia Medora Rooted Starter Plant: Overview
The Angel Wing Begonia Medora is a cane-type begonia from the Begoniaceae family, native to the tropical regions of South America. This rooted starter plant features distinctive angel-wing-shaped leaves with silver polka-dot markings and deep red undersides, creating bold contrast and strong visual appeal.
Its upright growth habit makes it well suited for tabletops, shelves, plant stands, or hanging displays. When grown in bright, indirect light and moderate humidity, the Medora may produce clusters of soft pink to red flowers during the warmer months. As a rooted starter plant, it is already established, allowing for faster acclimation and easier care than unrooted cuttings.

Care Instructions
Lighting
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.
Watering
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Do not allow soil to remain waterlogged. Reduce watering slightly during winter.
Temperature
Prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Humidity
Performs best in moderate humidity. A pebble tray or humidifier can help in dry environments.
Soil & Fertilization
Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Maintenance
Prune leggy stems to encourage fuller growth. Remove yellowing or damaged leaves as needed.
Propagation
Propagation is done through stem cuttings once the plant is established. Cut below a node and root in water or moist soil.

• Yellowing leaves from overwatering
