I have two pots full of Angel Wings, Dark Green with Silvery Spots and Red on the Back of leaves. I have had them for about 2 years now and never a bloom . They sit on a table near an East and North Window, but not in Sun - just light. The lady that gave me my cuttings says hers has never bloomed but are about 5-6 ft. tall. In fact she didn't know they were supposed to. My tallest one is about 4 ft. tall, but I am pinching out the top small leaf before it totally forms so they will branch now that they are taller. I have been giving them Jobe's plant spikes for blooming plants. hoping for success. Nothing yet. Why won't ours bloom??? The ones I had in previous years did not get tall, but bloomed all time and they were beautiful, but would suddenly die. These definitely grow tall.

I got one of these as a cutting. The leaves at this time are fully red.Wasn't sure what it was so had to research a bit. It's a bit much size wise so have been pruning when it gets out of control so to speak. It looks like the Peach parfeit but seems redder. Does anyone know if to much pruning can hurt it? Large or smaller pot?

Can the angel wing begonia's be trained into a tree form? If so, how do I do that? I have one that's nearly 7' tall currently.

D Stone		15-Jun-2014 19:01
I have seen one in a nursery in Columbia mo that was every bit of16ft tall and trailing the ceiling. My mother had one that took up 1/4 of the dining room. She had to drastically cut it back every year to keep it in check.

kelly kryger		03-Oct-2013 20:53
I have an angel wing begonia that is about 8 feet tall. it is 2" from the ceiling and has 2 shoots about 5 feet tall and 1 shoot about 3 feet tall. and now has 3 babies about 3" tall. how big will this thing get? I do not want to cut the top one but it is about to hit my ceiling. everyone who sees it can not believe how large it is. leaves are about 10"-12" long and 4"-5" wide. I can send photos. how big will it get though? Thank you. Kelly

Hi Fred~ We live in SK how do I go about getting one of the peach angel wings?

fred		01-Aug-2013 12:47
be carefull if you have the angel wings indoor for the winter . when you put them out in the spring just let them get a little sun each day. and they will be fine, but if they get full sun right away they will lose all there foliage, they do come back , but it takes a while, you will also find the back of the leaves turn a deep red , when they are outdoors i have a few extra peach parfeit if anyone wants one i live in ontario canada

Karen		04-Nov-2012 20:16
I love these pictures and plants. I have one thats a cutting, well its no longer a cutting at almost 2 ft tall, from a plant my grandmother had. The plant is over 50 years old, my mom says its between 55 and 60 years old. My mom has the original plant and its over 6 ft tall. They flower all year long and are just gorgeous.. In fact I didnt know, until today you can grow them out side..

Anne-Mari Gavin		11-Sep-2012 15:12
Where can I obtain these plants? Bonfire begonias have attention-grabbing fiery red blooms. They are great in hanging baskets, growing beautifully in full sun or part shade. Kind Regards Anne-Mari Gavin Nelspruit South Africa amg4care@xsinet.co.za

I live in Ontario, Canada and I am looking for cuttings of Begonia Lucerna. For some reason it is impossible to find this angel wing begonia in plant nurseries around here. My mother had this for many years but unfortunately it succumb to powdery mildew. I would appreciate it if someone out there could help. Thanks.

hello Agnes, I would love to purchase a cutting from your giant begonia plant. Please help.

Agnes		03-May-2011 16:58
Love your pictures of the Begonia's. We also have one that is over 5' tall that has been blooming all winter and still has blossom's right now. We live in Southern AZ, so we keep it in the house through the winter months. Thank God we did, as the temp. got down to 9 degrees in Jan.! Mine was given to me as a start from my friend Janet's mother's plant that is over 20 years old. I've cut off many starts to friends and they are delighted with them!

Lorin		23-Mar-2011 01:39
For Mert and Dee Berger: I have them, red ones and white, in the yard (about 7 foot tall!) and in a couple of pots. I've never had trouble with simple propagation or blooming. These are the possibilities for lack of blooming I can think of: 1# temperature (not warm enough) #2 daylight (they do best in dappled shade, getting some Summer sunlight) #3 your plants aren't sending up new canes, for whatever reason. They bloom more abundantly from the new canes, and when the new canes for the year have reached a good height #4 You might be pruning out the new canes. - Lorin

Love your site and the lovely photos -- I am currently into the Rex and the Angel Wings, hope to someday have as many as you have and at least half as gorgeous.

how can i send a pic of my angel

Guest		31-Aug-2010 15:33
What a wonderful gallery of angelwings! I am looking for the name of one I have, description follows: miniature leaves, 1" average, dark, dark red to almost black, shiny and grows very low; crawls down out of pots. Pale pink very small flowers on long stems standing 6" to a foot above plant. The pale pink and dark red are striking. Very easy to propagate. I hope you can help me. Dianne

John Gardner		18-Nov-2009 00:11
I am aware that I was not propagated by cutting from a plant that does flower. I meant to say "the Begonia was propagated by cutting from a plant that does flower."

John Gardner		18-Nov-2009 00:10
I recently received a telephone call about a Begonia never in bloom - not a single flower since the beginning. I was told that I was propagated by cutting from a plant that does flower. I've searched the internet for help but I haven't found anything. Is it possible that some Begonias have sterile canes? Or maybe the cutting was done incorrectly leaving the proper buds absent resulting in mutation?

DEE BERGER		21-Jul-2009 19:10
I have an angel wing begonia thats going great but after 6 mos still no blooms,,feed water and all but no blooms,,,,had one many tears ago and it never stopped blooming? PLEASE HELP,,,,THESE ARE MY LOVES!!!!!!!

Mert		17-Jul-2009 16:49
I have an angel wing that was started from a small cutting about 10(?) years ago. I was told it produces beautiful scarlet flowers in a cascading effect - but mine has never flowered. It has sprouted 8 branches and is over 5' tall. I keep it evenly moist and haven't pruned it. Any ideas on how to get it to bloom? Thanks!

Pat		05-Jun-2009 23:47
I found this hint as to how to prune angel wing begonias on ehow.com: Tip prune angel wing begonias during the active growing season to keep plants bushy and full. Remove the last two sets of leaves from the ends of long branches. Tip pruning forces multiple growth tips to emerge further down the stem resulting in more branches.

Debbie		23-May-2009 21:23
Is it true they will not do well if theres not a large leaf and a small leaf on the same section of branch.

Guest		23-May-2009 21:14
My question is " what is the best fertilizer for these beautiful plants?"

Guest		23-May-2009 21:11
My mother-in-law has several of these and I have almost killed mine and she brings it back to life. Hers are about 6 feet tall and flowering beautifully.

Huge angel wing begonias can be purchased at Varner's in Niles, Michigan for $9.99. That is where I bought a couple this year and have them in the house until danger of frost is over.

Colleen		11-Jan-2009 12:40
I am from Kingston, Ontario in Canada. I have had the Angel Wing Begonia for years and never knew what it was. It is huge! I have cut it down and re-rooted it and it has been surviving in just water for several months now. I also have another one that is smaller. The plant I took the cutting from is now getting more bushy like mentioned earlier in this thread of conversation. I am amazed at how the flower starts off as a heart shape and then moves into an almost 3-sided tubular-triangular shape with the flower at the end. I'm so glad your website has photos and explanations...your plants are beautiful! Thank you for finally solving the mystery plant issue for me :-)

leanne		01-Nov-2008 15:55
I have an indoor angel wing and i have noticed that i have tiny little bugs in the dirt. I noticed yesterday that they are eating the flowers off from it...what can i use to kill them and not my plant?

Guest		26-Oct-2008 22:01
To Judy: Angel wing begonias should actually be trimmed in the growing season. It encourages bushy instead tree-like growth (which i'm sure u knew). I suggest you trim them a great deal. If the plants are healthy, they will come back bigger and you can take the trimmings and clone new ones. Take all trimmings that have 4 joints or more and plant two joints in peat moss with rooting hormone and water. place in indirect sun and in about 2-4 weeks they will begin new growth. as long as u leave an adequate amount of foliage on the plant your trimming should be fine.

Judy		17-Oct-2008 20:45
My gardener planted Angel Wing Begonias as a surprise for me. They are really special and I have never seen anything so unique and beautiful. I live in Hobe Sound, FL and the plants are getting quite tall. Can someone tell me the proper way to trim them? I think they will be great in a vase inside, but I'm not sure where they should be trimmed off so the plants will continue to bloom. Any advice?

Val J Classey		26-Sep-2008 00:55
I am interested to know how some of these angel wing beauties can be acquired. I am an avid collector and sure would like to add some of these to my collection.

Romi		18-May-2008 18:01
i have always been fascinated by plants that combine beauty of flowers with that of leaves and can resist dessication better than other potted plants. Begonias are a good example, the net is a unique source of information. When i found ur marvellous gallery it was beyond words! Thanks for inspiring me in my love for this marvellous plant. Gr6 going, maam.

I just acquired my first "Angel Wing" at a fundraiser plant sale. I couldn't find anything about taking care of it in any of my gardening books, so I turned to you. I had no idea there were so many varieties and I am still not quite sure which one I have. But, I do have a good idea how to take care of mine now and am quite sure you have whet my interest enough that this one will be one of many to come. Thank you for sharing the insight and good websight. Nancy Doucet of Uvalde County Texas

I am so impressed by your collection of Angle Wing Begonias! I so envy you. I too have AW Begonias, my collection is small in comparison. I live in Michigan, and find it diffcult to find such variety. Where do you purchase your Begonias? Do you sell your plants? Thank You! -Heather McLeod

Ruth Tanner		08-Dec-2004 06:02
Wow. You must REALLY love Begonias. When I was a teen, my mother gave me a Begonia but through several moves and finally getting married, I left it with her to keep safe for me until I could pack it to California. Unfortunately, in her care, it died and I haven't been able to find one like it since. Perhaps, since you have such a huge selection, you can help. The begonia never bloomed for me. It had stalks like bamboo and grew about 2 feet tall while I had it. Its leaves were colored like your Miss Kitty, but they were shaped kindof like angel wings with only one serrated edge like your Dan Thompson. Do you know where I could find one like this? Thanks, Ruth Tanner
