Begonia Care Guides

Begonias want bright indirect light, moderate humidity and water at the soil rather than on the leaves. Wet foliage is the main route to powdery mildew, which is the defining begonia problem indoors.

The genus splits into cane types such as the spotted angel wings, rhizomatous and rex types grown for foliage, and wax begonias grown for flowers. Rex begonias want the most humidity; cane types are the most forgiving.

What they share

Water the soil, not the leaves. Bright indirect light without direct sun. Good air movement. Most are toxic to cats and dogs — check the individual guide.

Common problems

White dusty patches are powdery mildew from wet leaves and still air. Dropping leaves in winter is often a humidity crash from heating. Rex begonias going dormant and losing leaves is normal, not death.
