Angel Wing Begonia Medora Rooted Starter Plant
$12.24
Unit price perEstimated delivery between 11 June and 13 June.
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.
