Begonia angularis - 2.5L / 17cm / Medium

$20.00

Glittery veins adorn the asymmetric iridescent green velvety leaves of Begonia angularis. Indoors or outdoors in shade, flowers with white clusters in summer.

Shipping notice - these plants are very soft and likely to have some slight bruising or rubbing marks from transit however they are fast growers and readily branch out with new growth if any damaged sections or leaves are pruned. 

Ideal for Intermediate plant keepers or beyond.

Light Requirements: Medium-bright indirect Light is ideal

Moisture & Soil Requirements: Thirsty. Prefers evenly moist soil with good drainage in warm seasons - never soggy soil. Suits self-watering planters or regular small top-ups. Can be dramatic when dry but quickly springs back.

Growth & Nutrients: Upright soft canes emerge and gradually harden. May die back in winter if too cold but a fast summer grower.  Suits apartments or homes of any size. Feed with a dilute general-purpose fertiliser for containers from the start of spring each year to autumn when growth slows down.

Temperature, Humidity & Ambient requirements: Prefers warm, humid environments inside. Humidity is important for begonia otherwise the tips may dry off.

Toxicity: Non-Toxic to pets and people.

Plant Size Guide

The plant in the photos is an example and an approximate guide only however we try to show an average sized example. Sizes, flowering state and colours change throughout the seasons and variation will occur. In summer & autumn, plants are often larger or the same size as than the example picture but around winter and spring, they can be a little smaller but still at a size similar to the example. We aim to update the pictures to reflect significant differences.

Plant Heights - because the plant's foliage must fit inside our Plant Cartons, the actual height of a plant's central trunk (meristem) will be shorter than the box it fits in.

Small Plants - 14cm wide nursery pot - 1 Litre volume - Plants fit in a 50cm tall box.

Medium Plants -  17cm wide pots either 2L hanging pot or 2.5L nursery pot - Plants fit in a 75cm tall box.

Plants in Transit

Each Small, Medium & Large plant is individually contained within its own protective cardboard Plant Carton which may be joined to other cartons in your order.

Plants typically take just a day or two to arrive, however they are usually fine in their cartons for 1-2 weeks, and many can go longer, so a few extra days are not usually cause for concern.

Whether it takes 1 or 7 days, let your plant recover from its journey by placing in gentle light and adding a little water and it will be back to its best within a couple of days. Let us know if there are any major issues via the contact page.
