Begonias for Sale at Logee's

Begonias are beloved for their vibrant foliage and delicate blooms. They come in many shapes and sizes, and are some of the easiest plants to grow in containers, making them a popular pick for many indoor gardeners. Fibrous begonias are best known for their waxy, green to bronze leaves and continuous flowers. They do well in bright, indirect light and moderate watering, making them a solid choice for beginners looking for color. Rex begonias stand out for their stunning leaf patterns and textures. Their foliage ranges from metallic silver to deep red, and they thrive in high humidity and moderate light. Rhizomatous begonias spread from thick, horizontal stems, often producing large leaves in a range of colors. They benefit from consistent humidity and gentle watering. Semi-tuberous begonias bridge the gap between fibrous and tuberous types, offering attractive blooms and hardy growth. They prefer bright, filtered light and steady moisture, although their soil should never become waterlogged. Below are some of the more popular begonias we currently have at Logee's (you can see all of our begonia plants here).

Begonias are versatile and beautiful plants known for their colorful foliage, vibrant blooms, and adaptability to indoor and outdoor settings. Here are the most important things to know if you’re considering adding begonias to your collection:

Light
Most begonias thrive in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, while too little light may hinder blooming and lead to leggy growth. If you’re growing begonias indoors, placing them near an east- or north-facing window often works well. For outdoor begonias, a shaded or partially shaded area is ideal.

Watering
Begonias prefer consistent moisture but are highly sensitive to overwatering, which can cause root rot. Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering again. Always ensure proper drainage—pots with drainage holes are essential, and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

Humidity
Many begonias, especially rex begonias and other tropical varieties, love humidity. If your home is dry, consider grouping them with other plants, using a pebble tray, or occasionally misting (though avoid misting fuzzy-leaved varieties).

Soil
Well-draining soil is crucial for begonias. A mix of potting soil, peat moss, and perlite works well. This ensures the roots have access to moisture while preventing waterlogging.

Temperature
Begonias are sensitive to cold. Most varieties prefer temperatures between 65–75°F and should be kept away from drafts or sudden temperature changes. If you’re growing them outdoors, bring them inside before the temperature drops below 55°F.

Feeding
During their active growing season (spring and summer), feed begonias with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when growth slows.

Pest and Disease Management
Begonias can occasionally attract pests like aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs. Regularly inspect your plants and treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Watch for powdery mildew, especially in humid conditions, and improve airflow around your plants to prevent fungal issues.

By paying attention to light, water, and humidity needs, begonias can reward you with striking leaves, brilliant blooms, or both, depending on the variety you choose. Be sure to watch the video below for more information on how to grow and care for begonias.
