Angel Wing Begonias

I am adding the name of my favortie Begonia Nursery because several people have sent me emails for information and several have also left notes at the bottom of this gallery asking for Begonia sources. I have known Michael Kartuz for many years and have visited his nursery many times. Michael has a large collection of wonderful Begonias and other plants! The name of the nursery is Kartuz Greenhouses at http://www.kartuz.com/

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.

Is it true they will not do well if theres not a large leaf and a small leaf on the same section of branch.

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.

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 :-)

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?

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.

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?

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.

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

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

Simply enchanting! I love the begonia-impatiens colored leaf-colored flowers combination! Loreena
