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.

  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.

Great product
Style: AVR-S770H
I have owned several $1000.00 plus theater systems of 7.1(2) channels and I have never heard my speakers put out the sound like the Denon does. I would never change systems again unless Denon stops producing this product

AVR-S770H - My first AVR and my first Denon - works great with Directv and Fire Stick
Style: AVR-S770H
This review is for the Denon AVR-S770H. I was apprehensive about buying an AVR for my main TV. I've always used a soundbar and was happy with the results. I assumed that adding an AVR would make things finicky and complicated. I'm happy to say, that is not true. This Denon has been fabulous. My requirements for a home theater receiver were/are the following: 1) Ease of use and NO additional remotes to our current set-up (family needs, I'm not a bachelor!) 2) I need the ability to connect 2 zones: the TV room and I have a pair of outdoor speakers on the patio First, as to the remote situation, I use Directv and I use an Amazon Fire Stick 4k. My old set-up was super simple. I picked up the Directv remote and hit Power. That turned on the TV, the Directv box, and the soundbar (since it was connected to the TV ARC port). Simple. If I wanted to change over to the Fire Stick, I simply used the same Directv remote to change the input and then used the Fire Stick remote from there. I'm happy to say the Denon has made things even simpler. Not only does the Directv remote turn on/off the TV, Direct box, and the Denon receiver but now I don't even have to bother switching inputs. If I pick up the Fire Stick remote and hit the Home button, the Denon senses that and immediately switches over. Likewise, if I pick up the Directv remote and hit a button, the Denon will switch back over to Directv. So that is an actual improvement. By the way, in order to get the Directv remote to turn off the Denon, don't worry about trying to program the remote via the Directv menu (I tried all the codes and failed). Instead, go to the Denon setting menu. Choose Setup> Video> HDMI Setup. Change the "Power Off Control" to "Video" or "All". Now the Denon will turn on/off when the TV does (using the Directv remote). My second concern was operating a second set of speakers via Zone 2. That also works perfectly. Now when I step outside to sit on the patio, I simply hit the Zone 2 button on the front of the Denon. I can use my phone to play music via the Denon's built-in Bluetooth. Some users need to be aware: in order to operate Zone 2, the receiver needs to be switched from 7.2 channel to 5.1 + Zone 2. That's perfectly acceptable for me since my TV has only front L & R speakers and a subwoofer. So I'm not even using the full capabilities of the 5.1. If you need 7.2 and a second zone, you need to find a different AVR. In sum, I bought this Denon with some trepidation and thought maybe I'd have to return it. Instead, it does everything I want and then some. Of course, it sounds great too. I'm so glad I switched from the soundbar.

Wow!
Style: AVR-S770H
I had an Onkyo 5100 for a few years and experienced lots of issues with the UI over HDMI but after many many firmware updates they seemed to have resolved that and it had a great sound. Recently however the receiver started to turn itself on for no reason and I felt that it was a fire hazard. I bought this unit as a replacement and so far it is flawless. I believe that this receiver sounds even better and hopefully more reliable. The Atmos sound is excellent.

A firmware nightmare
Style: AVR-S770H
This piece of garbage has a mind of its own.  I bought it because I needed an HDR friendly device and it was highly recommended on more than one receiver list and went for a decent price.  In strictly audio terms it is a nice machine, though I wouldn't say its features are extensive.  However, IT decides when it wants to do things.  It randomly goes to zero volume without me touching anything (around once a week on average).  It randomly decides not to give me a picture when I turn it on.  This has improved since the last firmware update.  We are down from almost 20% of the time to slightly less than 10%.  Yes.  You read that correctly.  I have to turn it off and then on again, sometimes more than once before anything besides a brand name will show up on my TV.  It is supposed to have a screensaver but that never comes up unless they consider the stationary brand name a screen saver.  I have owned this thing for over 6 months and actually seen a screensaver with animation twice.  I have to turn my TV off if I am going to be away from it for any amount of time.  It has had plenty of opportunity.  The bottom line is that the people who write the firmware (operation software) don't seem to know what they are doing because this device is terrible at detecting REAL events and performing the necessary actions.  As a software/media developer, my primary device is a PC but I have been using PCs with receivers for decades and never had these kinds of problems.  Oh yeah... and the latest estimate of a firmware download is over 10 minutes.

Turned me into a Denon fan.
Style: AVR-S770H
I've only ever used Sony components for over 30 years. My latest Sony receiver experienced some problems. When I saw how much it would cost to repair it myself (circuit board swap), I decided to look at what else is on the market. This receiver costs less than the Sony replacement part with S&H. When the box showed up with full-sized, color pictures of the front and back of the receiver, I knew I was going to become a fan. Opened the box and one of the first thing I saw was a sheet of colored cable labels that includes labels for the components that will be plugged into the receiver. Pull the receiver out and see that the ports are color-coded too. Color-coded ports and labels is something I'm very serious about. I worked for years as a field engineer for a Fortune 100 computer equipment manufacturer. The low-end components started at $100k. For years, I tried - and repeatedly failed - to convince the product design teams to color-code the ports. To find everything I had fought for in a consumer-grade device was a dream come true. Not satisfied to make the cabling process as easy as paint-by-numbers, Denon embedded a video setup routine in the receiver that walks you through setting up your speakers, running the cables, and plugging in every single cable. The audio calibration process far exceeds what the Sony receivers do. In the box is a microphone with really long cable and a cardboard microphone stand you can easily assemble and disassemble. During the lengthy calibration, you place the microphone in 3 different listener positions - twice - for a total of 6 room readings. Adding components to each HDMI port was also just as easy and detailed. I have a small 'home theater PC' that it detected and gave me multiple names to assign to the port (Sony port names are fixed). I plugged my Xbox into the Game port and the top name on the list was Xbox. In no time, my home theater was back to normal - and I haven't even download the user manual to learn how to use the other features or go into the advanced settings.
