Feeding:

Angel Wing Begonia should be fed once a month with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Be sure to follow the instructions on the fertilizer label to avoid overfeeding.

Regularly inspecting the plant and treating any pests as soon as you notice them will help keep them at bay. Deficiencies: If the leaves of your Angel Wing Begonia turn yellow, it may be a sign of over-watering, under-watering, or a nutrient deficiency. Inspect the plant and adjust its care as needed.

Propagating:

: Angel Wing Begonia can be easily propagated from stem cuttings. Simply take a stem cutting, remove the lower leaves, and plant it in moist potting soil. Place the cutting in bright, indirect light and keep it consistently moist until roots have formed and new growth appears.
