Begonia species - Fibrous Begonia

Comments:

Fibrous begonias are named from their thin, hairlike roots. They can also be divided into bush types which include wax begonias (Begoinia semperflorens-cultorum) or caned-stemmed, which include angel-wing begonias (Begonia coccinea and Begonia corallina).

Wax Begonias can do well indoors and out with thick, succulent leaves. They can flower constantly during the summer months. If grown indoors, make sure they get plenty of bright light.

Angel-wing Begonias have graceful leaves with flowers that cascade downward making the plant ideal for hanging baskets. They like average to warm temperatures 60-80 degrees F (15.6 -26.7 C). Feed monthly during active growing period, and every 2 months in the winter. Prune back long canes to the base to encourage new growth from the bottom of the plant.
