Re: Angel Wing Begonia

Sounds like you are doing just fine, Carole. The one thing I would watch
out for this winter is fungal infections on your Angel Wing leaves. Usually
start as small white or brown patches on the undersides of the leaves and
ultimately cause leaves to die. Spraying with a solution of 1 TBL Baking
soda per gallon water should help. Be sure and spray both upper and lower
leaf surfaces.

Good luck!
