Comments: Begonia coccinea or Begonia Angel-Wing or Cane Begonia is
a pretty tender tropical perennial that blooms year round.
Exposure to too much sun can cause sunburn on leaves. It has lovely
pink blossoms and angel-wing-like foliage that is heavily spotted, hence
one of its common names, Angel-Wing. Cane Begonia
makes a lovely houseplant or grown in a container as an accent plant or
in a hanging basket. Begonia coccinea thrives well in light shade
and is easily propagated by leaf cuttings or woody stem cuttings. Do not
overwater as it will cause root rot.
