The Red Begonia Plant, also known as Dragon Wing Begonia, is prized for its attractive angel wing leaves and clusters of long-lasting scarlet red flowers. It’s a favorite for hanging baskets, window boxes, containers, and shaded garden beds. The plant’s ability to bloom continuously from spring to fall is one of the main reasons it has become a favorite in landscapes and patios alike.

One of its most admired features is its glossy, angel-wing-shaped leaves that range from medium to deep green. These leaves are often lightly serrated along the edges and have a semi-succulent texture, giving them a lush and tropical feel.

The plant has a bushy, mounding habit and can grow 24 inches tall and wide, creating an elegant cascading shape when planted in hanging baskets or elevated planters.

The Begonia flowers truly steal the spotlight with their abundant clusters of long-lasting bright red blooms (from spring until the first frost).

Each scarlet Begonia flower has a waxy texture and a slight shimmer under sunlight.

A begonia in a hanging basket suspended from the ceiling adds a touch of elegance to any room.

The cascading blooms create a beautiful focal point and bring a pop of color to your space.

For gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet highly ornamental plant, ‘Dragon Wing’ Begonia is an excellent choice. Its striking red flowers, lush foliage, and adaptability make it a standout among flowering hybrids, offering both color and elegance throughout the growing season. 

When and How to Water Your Begonia Plant 

The Red ‘Dragon Wing’ Begonia is moderately drought-tolerant once established, especially when grown in containers or partially shaded outdoor beds. It holds moisture well in its thick stems and can go for a few days without watering in warm weather. However, it performs best when the soil is kept consistently moist but not soggy, so allow the top 1 inch of soil to dry out before watering again.  

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, dragon Wing begonias should be watered every 7-9 days, or whenever the top inch of soil feels dry. You can check this by using the two-finger technique—insert your index and middle finger about an inch into the soil; if it feels dry at that depth, it's time to waterTo avoid overwatering, let the soil dry between waterings. Established plants may only require watering once a week, especially if it has not rained and the soil is dry. 

During dormancy, which lasts from late fall to winter, reduce watering frequency to once every 2-3 weeks, just enough to prevent the soil from going completely dry. 

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Dragon Wing Begonia  

When grown indoors as a houseplant, place your ‘Dragon Wing’ Begonia in a location that receives bright, indirect light for about 4 to 6 hours per day.

Ideal spots include near an east-facing window or several feet away from a bright south- or west-facing window with sheer curtains.

Avoid placing it in direct sunlight indoors, which can scorch its leaves.

If natural light is limited, supplement with a grow light for 12–14 hours per day.

For outdoor growth, place the plant in partial shade, where it receives morning sunlight and afternoon shade, or filtered sun throughout the day.

Direct afternoon sun can be too intense and may burn the foliage, especially in hot climates. In cooler climates, the plant can tolerate a few hours of direct sun, but 3 to 5 hours of bright light daily is ideal for encouraging flowering without leaf damage.

Too much sun can cause scorched or faded leaves, while too little light can cause lanky growth and less blooming. Adjust placement as needed to find the sweet spot for healthy growth. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A combination of peat moss, perlite, and compost or high-quality potting soil works well. Avoid heavy, clay-rich soils that retain too much moisture, as this can cause root rot. Planet Desert has specialized potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your succulents thrive. Ensure all pots or containers have proper drainage holes at the bottom. 

Fertilize the red Begonia plant once a year during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer. For heavy bloomers, a formula with a higher phosphorus number (e.g., 5-10-5) can encourage more flowers. Do not fertilize in the winter or while the plant is dormant. Overfeeding during this time can lead to salt buildup or force weak growth that’s prone to pests and disease. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When grown indoors as a houseplant, the ‘Dragon Wing’ Begonia prefers temperatures between 60–75°F and does best in environments with moderate to high humidity (40% or higher). Avoid placing it in areas with cold drafts, heat vents, or AC units. Maintain bright, indirect light for 4–6 hours per day for healthy foliage and blooms. 

In the United States, this Dragon wing Begonia red is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors as a tender perennial in USDA Zones 9–11.

It should only be planted outside after the last frost date and when nighttime temperatures consistently remain above 55°F.

It prefers part shade to filtered sun, and consistent humidity helps keep the foliage lush and full. 

If your climate is too dry, occasional misting or mulching around the base can help maintain soil moisture. In colder zones, bring it indoors before the first frost or treat it as a seasonal annual. 

Wildlife Begonia Flowers Attract the Following Friendly Pollinators 

The ‘Dragon Wing’ Begonia is known to attract friendly pollinators, especially bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies, due to its bright red blooms and extended flowering season. When planted in garden beds, it can help support local pollinator activity and enhance garden biodiversity.

According to the ASPCA, all Begonia species are mildly toxic to cats and dogs, particularly the underground tubers. Ingesting parts of the dragon wing plant can lead to symptoms like drooling, vomiting, and mouth irritation. However, it is safe to touch and handle, making it a popular choice for indoor and outdoor gardens. 

How to Propagate Your Begonia Plant 

The Dragon Wing Begonia propagation can be done through stem cuttings. Choose a healthy, non-flowering stem and cut a 4–6-inch section just below a leaf node. Remove the lower leaves to leave the bottom inch or two bare.

For water propagation: Place the stem in a jar with the lower nodes submerged. Keep it in bright, indirect light and change the water every few days. Roots should appear in 1–2 weeks. 

For soil propagation: Dip the cut end in rooting hormone (optional), and plant it into moist, well-draining soil. Cover loosely with a plastic bag to maintain humidity. Mist occasionally and keep in indirect light. Once roots develop (typically in 2–3 weeks), transplant the cutting into a larger pot and resume regular care. 

Key Takeaways

  1. The Dragon Wing Begonia produces vibrant, long-lasting red blooms that last from spring until the first frost, offering continuous color without deadheading.
  2. This Red Begonia plant thrives in a variety of settings, including hanging baskets, window boxes, patio containers, and shaded garden beds.

hobbyist only
Purchased to replace a 15 year old Epson. I still have three weeks to decide to return this so I will edit this review if I decide to do that. PROS: After a few test prints, I love the quality of color, the accuracy of reproduction to what I see on my monitor, and the number of choices for print size and quality. I found, as others complained, that with cheap gloss paper there was puddling of ink. When I switched to my best papers, especially my favorite highest quality matte finish, the results were astounding and I'd do matte for everything. As for ink usage, I made the choice to go with a cartridge printer instead of the newer high-volume inks because I wanted the archival quality. Test the output for your needs, because I found the "draft" setting produced better on gloss paper. CONS: Like so many electronics now, you only get instructions if you download and print them. Second, when the printed photo feeds out, it has been curled and as it feeds into the receiving drawer, wants to drag the wet ink against the body of the machine. You have to be there to watch and push it down with a finger. Cheaper gloss paper in 4x6 size curled up in a little wet roll 1/2" diameter and is not usable AT ALL. The miniature screen on which to select papers is ridiculous. I wish the computer interface let you make the choices on your computer, but it does not.

Defective printer and poor wifi performance
I cannot recommend that anyone buy this printer. At this price, I expected a consistently working and decent quality printer. For initial wireless setup with a Mac, we had to spend 45 minutes on the phone with Epson technical support. That got it working. It worked for a couple of weeks and then the printer would frequently lose its wifi connection even though our internet is high quality cable and very consistent. We'd have to turn this printer off and on repeatedly to re-establish the wifi connection. Then after 6 weeks it stopped working totally. After another 45 minute call with Epson, they said it had a hardware failure and we had to return it to Epson and would receive a refurbished unit. This is less than 2 months after buying a new high priced printer that they are suggesting we accept a refurbished unit. Finally Epson said they'd send a new one. We got the new one and did our customary call to tech support to set it up for wireless with a Mac. It turns out they forgot to send the factory ink cartridges in this replacement printer that are required to do an initial setup. We have the Epson cartridges that are spec'ed for this printer, but they have to be the ones that COME INSIDE the printer for the printer to begin its initial setup. So after another 45 minute call, Epson now says they have to send us new ink cartridges for the printer to even print a single piece of paper - even though we have Epson ink cartridges purchased just for this computer. So after weeks of no printer for our business, we now have to wait for another shipment from Epson. Then we will have the next 45 minute call to set it up.. This painful and costly experience has had way too many headaches - all caused by Epson defects and mistakes. We will not be buying Epson again.

A must have high quality Photo Printer for cheap!
If you’re searching for a high quality printer without breaking the bank , this is the printer for you. I had spent a good amount of time researching various printers and the picture quality they offered . I really spent my time looking this up . I found that the Picture quality on this printer is incredible . If you look at other models that can print 13x19 they cost way more. Now the ink capacity I’m not entirely sure about but I do know the ink can be expensive but it’s a trade off for getting an affordable printer without breaking super high quality pictures . Setup was very straight forward and it makes it essentially easy for anyone to connect to their network to print wired or wireless. You have the ability to print from your phone which is really amazing as well . All around this printer is great and if you’re hesitant you should just pull the trigger because you get quality with this model and affordability .

Ink is a problem
Printer is great. It prints very nicely.. had no problem setting up.. it all works fine. What I didn't like is the ink is kind of expensive and doesn't seem to last long. Once one color is out .. you can't use at all. Says "print in black" but it only allows that a few pages then it's done even tho there is black ink left. Epson customer service kind of sucks also.

Correction: Excellent value, quality and ease of use for color & grey scale; Wi-Fi firmware updates
Straightforward to install on my home WiFi network. The controls and screen are easy to navigate. Firmware updates can be done via WiFi—so much better than downloading an installer to a computer. Surprised that the maximum borderless print size is A3+. I don’t care, because I don’t mind a thin border on 13x19” paper, and intend to print 12x18” or smaller anyway for framing. Good results on real-world test prints with default color and tonal settings in Apple Photos. Astonishingly, perfect color and tonal range in my full-spectrum, full-dynamic range test print of a storefront on 13x19” Matte paper. A garden scene had true hues—borderless on 4x6” glossy paper—but was a bit dark. You wouldn’t notice if you only saw the print. Full tonal range B&W image on glossy paper lost some highlight detail and mid-tone pop compared to what I got from a commercial print shop using Luster paper, but I’m not seeing a color cast reported by others, which is very good news. I bought Epson again after a long hiatus because 1) I have a big stock of paper from pre-covid days, 2) ink cost is not a problem for my limited photo printing needs, and 3) the recent price drop offered a very low up-front cost. This one is smaller and very much quieter than its predecessor. It offers Air Print connectivity, but I prefer WiFi, even from mobile devices. Pretty happy so far. Already useful and B&W may improve with experimentation.
