Begonias House Plants Garden

Favorite Begonia

What’s your favorite begonia? Mine is B. ricinifolia. It roots from sticking leafstalks in dirt and is a super vigorous plant.

Hard to pick a favorite. What looks good now might look horrible in a few weeks and vice versa. It's like picking your favorite child. HAHA!

A better question is how to whittle down a collection to say top 50 or 100?

That'a a very nice begonia, Rhamel. Do you overwinter it inside? My favorite is one I no longer have, beefsteak begonia, but plan on growing it again very soon.

This plant is a prize in my collection. In the fall I chop it back and bring it in

Pretty plant, Rhamel.

My fave is One which grows outside getting morning sun only. Angel wing, dragon wing...something like that.

i just broke off a stem and put in water, maybe it will root.
