What is a Begonia?
A begonia is a popular plant, respected for its beautiful flowers and leaves, its wide form of colors, and its power to thrive well. Begonias are native to tropical and subtropical moods but are able to grow in many different environments. A begonia can be identified by its waxy green or brown leaves and its red, white, pink or yellow flowers with yellow centers, called eyes. A begonia grows to a height of between six and nine inches (15 to 23 centimeters) tall and twelve inches (30.5 centimeters) in width. Its petals are round.
Tuberous begonias have flowers that seem more rose-like and have green leaves. They are specific in that they can be got rid of from the ground in the winter and kept indoors until the weather warms up again. Basements make good storage places for tuberous begonias; they can be kept in paper bags with dry peat moss in any cool, Begonias grow well in potting soil, as opposed to planting mix, as potting soil provides adequate drainage. Soil with a low pH is also essential.
