🌱 How to Care for Angel Wing Begonia to Prevent Grey Mould?
💧 How to Water
Water when the top of the soil feels dry to the touch (roughly every 5-7 days in summer, 10-14 days in winter). Avoid waterlogging, as roots rot easily in soggy soil.
☀️ Lighting
Prefers bright indirect light near a sheer-curtained window. Direct sun scorches the leaves, while low light causes leggy stems and poor flowering.
🪴 Ideal Soil
Use a light, well-draining mix based on potting soil, peat, and sand or perlite, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
