Description
It’s safe to say that all indoor Begonias fall into the category of weird and wonderful houseplants. Belonging to the Begoniaceae family, this genus of perennial flowering plants boasts 2002 different plant species. The vibrant array of species can be found in moist tropical and subtropical climates scattered across south and central America, Africa, and southern Asia. They come in many different shapes and sizes with strikingly coloured foliage and a gorgeous array of leaf forms.
It is hard not to fall in love with Begonias! But tread carefully if you are a new houseplant custodian.
Begonias like what they like and in most cases are unwilling to settle for less. If not cared for properly, they will not hesitate to show you that they are unhappy. But provide them with the care outlined below and they will reward you with endless beauty all year round.
Troubleshooting & Tips
- Good air circulation will help to keep your begonia happy and healthy.
- Provide a minimum temperature of 13°c in the winter ideally the higher the better but if you can maintain a constant 13°c it will survive.
- Brown edges can be caused by low humidity, too much direct heat, or temperature fluctuations. Time to change the location to somewhere more suitable.
- Leaf drop is often the result of low light levels, overwatering, underwatering, too much humidity, or a lack of airflow. Time to review your watering and care schedule or maybe try a better location.
- Yellow halos on the leaves are signs of leaf spots. This occurs in a moist and cool environment. Any affected leaves should be cut off and the plant should be moved to a warmer location with better airflow.
