Can you tell me what this plant is & how to care for it?
Thank you
Hi Thanson,
Your plant is a type of Angel Wing Begonia, the variety is “CatherineToo. Here are some care tips for an Angel Wing Begonia.
Light
Angel Wing Begonias like bright indirect light but no direct sun. Proper light helps the leaves and flowers on your Angel Wing Begonia develop a more intense color. Insufficient light causes the plant to become leggy and prevents flowers development. When light is too intense, the edges of the leaves of an Angel Wing Begonia Plant curl and turn brown.
Water
Be careful not to over-water your Angel Wing Begonia. If the Begonia Plant is in a small pot, allow the top 1” of soil to dry out before watering. In a larger pot, allow the top 2”-3” of soil to dry out before watering. Any Angel Wing Begonia container should have drip holes in the bottom for proper drainage. Your Begonia plant should never sit in water. When over-watered, the leaves when of an Angel Wing Begonia Plant turn yellow and fall off.
Fertilizer
Feed your Angel Wing Begonia Plant monthly in the spring and summer when it is actively growing with a liquid plant food high in potassium. Fertilize your plant every other month during the rest of the year. To prevent leaf burn, feed Begonias when the soil is damp and always dilute the food to 1/2 the recommended strength.
