A Begonia plant, part of the Begoniaceae family, is often considered to be an outdoor plant, but they also make excellent indoor plants that can bloom the entire year.
Begonia plants originally came from the tropical, moist regions of southern Asia, Africa, South America, and Central America which is why they require such high humidity to grow well.
There are over 1500 varieties of begonia plants that fall into the categories of caned, rhizomatous, or tuberous. Each of these varieties have different care requirements but they all prefer warm temperatures, barely moist soil, bright, indirect light but no direct sun.
Begonias make the perfect house plant and are lovely throughout the year. Between wax begonias and rex begonias, no two varieties are alike. Whether it be the cane begonia or reiger begonia.
Begonias over 1,000 different species of Begonias, there’s a variation for nearly everyone. Each type of Begonia has its own unique characteristics – with some used for adding pops of color to shaded gardens and others grown for their patterned, disproportionate, and variegated foliage.
Though the types vary considerably, Begonias are native to moist subtropical and tropical areas. They are also generally small in size, but can pack a major punch when it comes to both color and visual interest. For best results in your garden, it’s important that you choose the kind type of Begonia.
Some of the most common types of Begonias include Wax Begonias, Rex Begonias, Tuberous Begonias, Reiger Begonias, Cane Begonias, and Rhizomatous Begonias – to name a few.
Known as Begonia semperflorens, wax begonias are the most common variety and also the easiest to grow outdoors. They are considered annual, or bedding begonias and will thrive in zones 10 and 11 as perennials. Though, wax begonias can also be grown successfully indoors.
Most wax begonias are neat, mounding plants with colorful blooms in pink, yellow, white, and red hues. Their blooms are edible and the plant can grow between six inches and up to two feet tall. Most will also grow nonstop throughout spring, summer, and autumn
One of the major advantages to wax begonias is the fact that they can thrive in both sunny or shaded conditions, and will grow just as well in containers and landscape beds.HENRY
