Begonia 'Corallina'

Begonia Corallina, known as the Angel Wing Begonia, is one of the most graceful and rewarding flowering houseplants you can grow. Its large, wing-shaped leaves are a deep green with an elegant, slightly glossy surface, and it blooms prolifically with hanging clusters of coral, pink, or red flowers that dangle like earrings from arching stems. It grows upright on thick, bamboo-like stems and becomes more impressive with every season.

Good for beginners? Yes. Angel Wing Begonia is more forgiving than many flowering plants. It tolerates average home conditions, grows quickly with good light, and rewards consistent care with near-continuous blooming.

Safe for cats and dogs? Begonia is toxic to pets if ingested — particularly the roots and tubers. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.

Light needs: Bright indirect light produces the most abundant blooming and the richest leaf color. It tolerates medium light but flowering reduces significantly. Avoid direct harsh sun which can scorch the delicate leaves.

Care at a glance: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Good drainage is essential — do not let it sit in water. Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer. Pinch back stem tips to encourage a fuller, bushier shape. Deadhead spent flower clusters to encourage continuous blooming.
