Angel Wing Begonia Richmondensis Pink: Overview
The Angel Wing Begonia Richmondensis Pink is a vibrant cane begonia known for its glossy, wing-shaped leaves and clusters of delicate pink flowers. A member of the Begoniaceae family, this hybrid originates from tropical South America and features olive-green foliage with red undersides and serrated edges. Its arching stems grow 18-24 inches tall indoors, producing cascading pink blooms that add a romantic touch to any space.
Thriving in bright, indirect light and moderate humidity, this begonia is moderately low-maintenance and ideal for tabletops, hanging baskets, or mixed plant arrangements. Compared to other Angel Wing varieties like Begonia ‘Lois Burke’, the Richmondensis Pink stands out for its prolific flowering and graceful growth habit.
